Interview

It’s 4:30am In South Africa, The landscape is altered with the new swell filling in. Warick is awake greeting the new swell with each pull of his cigarette. We gather our gear and throw seven boards and camera gear into a four banger Jetta. We get to the surf at 6 am.Its absolutely pumping. One more cigarette for g�d luck.He doesnt seem to need much luck.

+++So just got done spending a week or so sleeping on your couch. It was freaking horrible but I hear its a pretty common stop for traveling surfers. How long have you been offering your place to friends?

____Yeah ive had tons of guys stay over the years , you become friends with so many people over the years from the tour , so i guess its just a nice way to save people some money and i live right on the beach in durban , also my dog gets to piss on everybody's bag thats on the fl�r haha+++So you grew up in Durban, a pretty unique costal city. You think some of that unique-ness has rub off on you threw the years?

___ Durban is totally the surf city of africa , some of our best surfers have come right out of this town , its also quite dangerous from a crime. So i guess alot of us had become quite street wise from growing up here , and street wise i believe is quite a unique thing to have when you always travelling abroad , it makes us who we are

+++I understand your a busy man with new ventures so, what do you have in store for us? ___well last year a friend of mine started a project called "wright side of wrong" basically its a short film that he wants to turn into a tv series, so we shot it over in portugal and in london , i met up with guys like jordy and taj and just made something quite unique and funny , we didnt want to make it all about surfing because thats just boring , so its more behind the scenes stuff from contests , interviews and hanging with hot chicks , so its fin-ished now and we just planning to get on the road and doing a bunch of premieres around the world, trying to sell it

“ITS GOING TO BE A GOOD FEW MONTHS I THINK”

+++Upcoming travels and/or projects?

_______NYC, London, South Africa & Los Angeles.+++As a up and coming Dj (Laughs) playing vogue night parties and launching a new show, when is there time to surf? ____Well i stopped the tour 3 years ago i did it for 8 full years , i just thought to myself there are so many other things i want to do and alot of those things were just fun. I surf when i want and when it suits me , when theres people filming or sh�ting i make sure im out there but now alot of the time im out and about , im starting to dj more now , im building a little dj duo with my g�d mate Ron , we calling ourselves "the suits" and we gonna play and take the piss out of other dj's and just have fun with it+++So IAMWOK.COM is your blog, tell us a bit more about it? Whats your angle to separate yourself from the thousands of other surf blogs out there? _____ya IAMWOK is my baby , once i lef t the tour , i put everything i had into

that. and i think the only reason its paid off is because its so tongue. Im so over just watching surfing regardless of how g�d it is. I interview g�d surfers and

ask them nothing about surfing , i rip off girl surfers and hipsters
