What made you decide to come to Magnetic Island for the Clint Robinson Paddle Retreat?

To escape a Melbourne winter and to learn some tips and skills from the best of the best. I first met Clint a few years back when I started paddling. I'd had a long break away from the sport and I respect his skills, abilities and like his teaching style - can always count on Clint to keep it real ​

What was the highlight of your trip?
a) Meeting the Destination Adventure team and a rockstar line up of fellow paddlers.
b) The food....god so much yummy food! Peppers Resort is a top location for such a clinic
c) Exploring Maggie Island - she's a beauty

What adventures have you been on since we last saw you?
Well, I came to Maggie Island to work on technique. I then went to Ningaloo Reef in WA a week later to put skills into practice with a week of downwind paddling in another gobsmackingly gorgeous location with an awesome group of folks - Dean Gardiner - the king of downwind paddling, and an awesome group from Ocean Paddler.

​Then, the big one...the Mauritius Ocean Classic! My word....that was so far out of my comfort zone there are not enough words!

Life is short I figure, I like to make it one big adventure
