Name: Nathan (yellowboy) Eades

Birthday:19/10/1982

Home: Wales (a small island next to England full of great people)

Favorite Shred Ready helmet and color:
Shaggy- Yellow

Describe the time you were most glad that you were wearing your helmet
In 2002 I joined a team of surf kayakers on a trip to Tahiti, we surfed some amazing waves that were all reef breaks. The coral was sharp and on the inside the water was barely a foot deep.

What person do you respect the most? Who is your hero?
Ben Thomas. He kinda took me under his wing when I was a youngster and got me into surf kayaking- I rate him as one of the best surf kayakers of our time.

Who on the Shred Ready team do you most admire and why?
Joey Hall for his manly stance.

What movies/books/comics/TV shows, etc are you into right now?
Haven't got time for reading, too busy having fun! and getting wet. (Yellowboy dosen't know how to read)

What are you listening to these days?
It has to be Gangster rap every time!

What was the best concert you attended?
Take That! back in 1992, Robbie Williams is so handsome!

What are some things that motivate you?
Leggy blond women and beer, but nothing motivates me more than 6 foot clean surf with super fast faces that scare the shit outta you all the way to the beach,

What sports do you enjoy watching or participating in besides your main sport?
Snowboarding- the guys at the top of that sport can do some awesome stuff! I go every year for a week of snowboarding and just love it!

What's the best trip you've ever been on?
In the summer I went out to Sri Lanka for a month surfing hollow reef breaks. Every day I would get out of the water pumped full of exhilaration and grinning ear to ear- some spots would be empty of any surfers, so it would just be me and my mate sufing wave after wave all day in what can only be described as paradise.

What goals are you working towards right now?
I want to surf a huge wave, say Maverics or simular. I'm forever seeing shots of surf board riders on 40 foot faces and think it's about we surf kayakers started raising our game.

When people look at your life, how would you like to be remembered?
As the guy that likes to have a lot of fun, he doesn't take himself seriously but can be serious when he has to. A true soul surfer and although he has gained some good results, is definately not a competition junky.

What do you view as your biggest accomplishment?
Haven't done it yet but when I get a shot of me on a 30-40 foot wave face then I'll be a happy chappy.

What advice do you have for other people coming up in your sport?
Every one is friendly and approachable-even the guys at the top. Don't be afraid to ask for advice even if it's off 'that guy you see in all the mags'. We were all beginners too.

One sentence that describes your life:
lots and lots of fun!

Why are athlete bios always so lame?
Dunno- probably down to the team managers being a couple of gaylords.
