Some background on Chumpy
Chumpy was a captivating figure in Australian sports, with his passion for family and adventure shining through in every aspect of his life.
Chumpy’s incredible ability to inspire others through his snowboarding was undeniable, and this influence extended to his love for surfing, free-diving, music, and motorbike riding. He lived with an abundance of love and embraced life wholeheartedly.
A trailblazer in the commercialization of snowboardcross (SBX) opportunities for himself and fellow athletes, Chumpy was admired and respected by all. His kindness, caring nature, and support for emerging athletes were matched by the esteem and admiration his competitive peers held for his talent and determination.
By honoring Chumpy’s legacy through a foundation that upholds his interests and values, we have the chance to create a meaningful impact on people’s lives. This foundation will provide support and resources for both the next generation and current athletes, as well as the broader surfing, snow, and music communities that Chumpy influenced.
