was born in Melbourne on the 26/9/1970. Growing up in
Newcastle from 3 to 9, he first entered the water on a
foamy twin fin at Redhead beach, gaining an instant fascination
and respect for the ocean. Moving to the Central Coast
at the age of 9 led to Tim taking up bodyboarding, starting
out at the small beachbreak of Terrigal. Through his early
teens he gained a reputation around the local breaks,
with Nth Avoca and Wamberal offering more challenging
beachbreaks. He soon starting venturing to the local reefs
of Crackneck and Banzai, and by the age of 18 had turned
professional. This led him to Hawaii, where he excelled
In the powerful waves. He has travelled to this location
every year for the last 15 years, as well as many other
exotic locations around the world. |
