So Steen, you’re standing on the top deck at the Quiksilver Pro with a beer in your hand and pumping waves out the front. What made you join HIF? It was just the discount I got through my Surfing Queensland membership. I’ve needed to join a Private Health Fund for a while now and I had been putting it off until I joined Surfing Queensland, then I was offered the discount, so I joined HIF. And what made you become a member of Surfing Queensland? I joined a boardriders club, and had want more? surfingqueensland.com.au always wanted to be in one, so I joined MNM Boardriders. Have you been to the Quiksilver Pro before? I try and come down every year. I’ve never been on a deck like this before though, this is epic. Tell us about your day? Well they’re not running the men today but I’m stoked to be here to watch the expression session, it’s like two hours of a 20-man heat with the best surfers in the world! It’s probably even better.
