Profile:

"Image... IMMAAGGEEEE!" That's what you'll find being shouted at you if you ever see this man while he is out indulging in his favourite sport, surfing. For Image, it's all about the image so if you're not projecting the right one, expect to be told. Over the last couple of years his surfing career has led to an increase in what Image calls, his "Image Projection". Having been an avid surfer for years, you might think he doesn't look like your typical surfer, but then who does? Not everyone is Australian with blonde locks! But that doesn't stop Image from embracing the surf lifestyle as he and Quick Buck cruise around in their Scooby Doo style surf van looking for the perfect wave. The word 'image' has never been shouted as much! Image has been surfing for years but it has really taken off since Quick Buck became addicted, and ever since both have had their lives controlled depending upon what Mother Nature is doing. After riding a 7'10 board for a while, Image progressed onto longboarding and can now be seen performing ballerina style moves up and down the board to impress the crowds with his surf image, before hanging 10 as the wave closes. However there is another reason Image spends most of his time in the water. When you need to go to the loo as many times as he does, it's the perfect place to be. Whether he's out on the lash, on a surfing road trip, or is simply walking to the shops, Image's unique talent for being able to go to the toilet a mind boggling number of times in such a short space of time is always evident. His current record is 15 times in 2 hours, and although medically the rest of us think he has a problem, his disappearing act is something you get used to on a night out. Image has been known to 'go' anywhere, from Churches to motorway hard shoulders and it is true to say his toilet capers actually form a large part of his personality. Image has a penchant for vodka and Red Bull quaddies which help contribute to his 'problem', but more interesting things happen when he falls asleep at the end of the night, for Image has a real tendency to sleep walk. Not a bad thing when on several occasions it's led to him climbing into the wrong girls bed, naked. And when morning comes, he remembers nothing. Apparently. Image has been good friends with the Clubflat Team for a long while, but it was only during the Clubflat Surfing In Portugal 2006 trip that he exploded onto the scene as the mystery guest “No Name”, from where he passed his initiation to become a fully fledged member of the team. Image makes any party or gathering a better one. His subtle and sly wit, combined with a nature that is willing to try anything once makes for a genuinely unique person.

 

Image Says: "It's all about the image baby! During the time it's taken you to read this, I'll have been to the loo 6 times".

 

Claim to Fame: "I've met the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, whilst projecting my image in Australia".
