Weeksy's World
Now based in on the Gold Coast, West Australian at heart.
Raised in Perth, Western Australia, Weeksy has
spent most of his years in the desert state. Regular weekends "down
south" to sample the juice of the Margaret River region saved him from
going mad due to the crowds and lack of real waves in metropolitan
Perth. "It gets good occasionally at Scarborough, but without Lancelin,
Rotto and Down South we'd go nuts for sure! I've also been lucky enough
to get up to Kalbarri a couple of times a year for the last few years -
Jakes when it's small is a lot of fun, but I leave it to the locals
when it gets fired up"
Growing up as a short board surfer, longboard surfing
came along mostly by chance: "I was commentating at a few short board
comps, and I was asked to MC a longboard comp. I had fun, enjoyed the
atmosphere and have competed in longboard surfing ever since. I still
ride a shortboard about half the time, they complement each other I
reckon"
Representing WA at the National Titles as over 35
state champ in 2008 and 2009, Weeksy qualified in 3rd for the Queensland
in 2010 and finished 7th for his new adopted state at the National
Longboard Tites. Made it to at least the semis all three years, with highest finish being 4th in 2008.
"Thanks to my longboard mentor Macca (Mark Macnamara - multiple
national title holder), I am finally learning to cross-step a little
bit, and trying not to do head stands so much in competition. Really surfing's just about having fun though, right?"
