Se potessi trascorrere una giornata con un altro SMITH , chi sceglieresti e perché?

I’d have to say Scott Stevens, that guy is such a wizard on the board and so creative, I’d hope his creativity would rub off on me after riding with him!

What's your go-to coffee shop order? We're here for the extra picky orders...?

Medium Flat white with one sugar please…some would call me basic ahah.

Qual è il tuo SMITH preferito e perché?

I’d have to say the classic Squad MAG, but specifically with the Rose Gold/Pink mirror lens. That one is super sick in all conditions and I love how it looks.

If you weren't a professional snowboarder, what would you be?

It’s kind of hard to imagine doing anything else honestly! I’d like to say I’d be a surfer but I guess we will never know haha!!

Quali sono le 5 cose di cui non puoi fare a meno quando esci di casa?

If packing for a trip, I’d say my slippers, film camera, Speaker, sunnies and my snowboard bag.

If you could have 1 super power, what would it be?

Still working on flying…

Growing up in our house in St Kilda, it seemed like every waking minute which wasn’t spent asleep or in the classroom, myself and my three siblings were being entertained by a sport of any kind. Whether it was gymnastics, swimming, surf life-saving, basketball, diving…you name it, we did it. By the age of 10 I had tried just about every sport under the sun, until snowboarding came along and changed everything! Snowboarding became a big part of the lifestyle in the Coady household. What started off as weekend trips up to the mountains quickly grew into local competitions, followed by overseas trips and international events. My love for snowboarding has only grown over the years, and I am so grateful to be able to travel the world and snowboard, it truly is the best. When I’m not snowboarding, I love to spend my spare time surfing in Australia and catching up with my family.
