Flynn Novak Interview

One day i went to Padang Padang thinking that the competition was going to be on, but the swell was not big enough for the competition to be on. i was down at the beach watching some of the pros surf. i saw this guy who kept doing these backflips while he was on the wave, i though tat was really impressive. i took my camera and started videoing him, after awhile he finally comes out of the water and me and my dad decided to go talk to him. I realized who he was, Flynn Novak, i decided to interview him.

Me: Hey Flynn, Im Alex and I'm doing a surfing magazine and i was wondering if i could interview you.

Flynn: Yeah sure, ask away

Me: So where are you from??

Flynn: Hawaii born and raised there, i learned to surf at a very young age. 

Me: What brought you to Bali?

Flynn: First of all, the competition of course and i also have some friends living here, i love bali man, the surf here is great

Me: How did you find Padang today?

Flynn: Real fun, your guaranteed to get into the barrel in almost every ride. I had a couple wipeouts out there and some nice waves, it was fun surfing with my friends in a place some of us had never surfed before.

Me: How is Padang surf compared to the surf back home?

Flynn: Oh, the same thing except a lot more surf breaks, there is surf all year round, some of the waves there are really heavy and are quite dangerous, out here in Padang its a little bit more playful. 

Me: How long are you here for??

Flynn: I've been here since the beginning of july and i go back home on the 29th of august, but I think i might be wanting to extend my visa.

Me: Why do you think we don't have the waves that we were looking forward to, i mean the surf forecast  said that they were predicting 13 to 14ft waves?

Flynn: It seemed that we had a high pressure system, it pushed the swell back so it did not come all the way through. 

Me: Where do you live in Hawaii?

Flynn: Haha, i live on the north shore, i got Pipeline right outside my house.

Me: How would you describe the feeling of riding pipeline and how is Padang Padang different from it?

Flynn:  Padang Padang is different because its more playful and its not as heavy as pipeline 

Its so cliche to say that its the ultimate ride, but it basically is, its really intense and its such a rush

Me: thanks Flynn i really enjoyed talking to you

Flynn: your welcome man, maybe we can surf together when i see you another time, and don't forget to post those videos of me on Facebook
