FM: As you do!
PK: I was just surprised, I did not really claim it or clench my fist, I don’t really do that! But I did do it and it was at South Point, Margaret River.
FM: Did you think about going for one in Pozo?
PK: Nah, not really. I was very high on the one in the first final, I could have done a double but I played it safe with the single. It might have ruined the jump and at that moment my focus was on winning. I wanted to have a safe score.
FM: Do you enjoy doing expression sessions?
PK: When the conditions are firing they are fun. I don’t like it when it is light wind and not that much waves. Then I have to go for no handed back loops or no handed one footed back loops, moves like that.
JC: No handed, one footed back loops?
PK: Yes, I have done them!
FM: How do you train to make new moves?
PK: I have not done many new moves! I just think about them in my head a lot and then just go for it.
FM: What about slalom, do you ever think about competing in that?
PK: Yes I will do slalom but when I’m older (laughing)..when I’m done with the doubles and jumping. I have slalom gear and sometimes I go for a slalom session but to compete there’s so much testing, rigging right, fins..but in the future yes I would like to race maybe.
FM: Are you fast?..you are certainly fast on your wave gear!
PK: Well I’m fat so yes (everyone laughs)..sometimes yes I’m fast..I’m not afraid to go fast.
