A/F: How stoked were you when you landed King of the Groms?

Sebastian Williams: Over the moon, definitely my best achievement and the location they had it at was paradise so it couldn't have been better.

 

What's your go to past time when you hit a flat spell? Depends where I am, if I'm in Mex I normally go fishing, if I'm in South Africa me and all my friends always find something to do like skate if not then it's just movies all day.

 

You've dropped into some bombs, Puerto or Pipe? I haven't gotten a decent swell at Puerto yet but it's a little more sketchy being a beachbreak, but I think pipe is more perfect, so Pipe!

 

Your Pops was an ASP judge, how is it having your old man on the beach giving you notes on ripping in comps?

It's the best thing I could ask for, every comp, even free surfs he's always helping me with technique and certain things that have helped me even today.

 

When was the last time you almost died? I don't really remember, but I can remember that when I turned 8 I was surfing a reefbreak and I did an air on a close out and went over the falls and my leash got hooked on a rock and I couldn't reach it and I couldn't reach the surface either, luckily the leash snapped after about 20 seconds but when I came up I had 28 urchins in my foot.

 

Favorite pre heat jam? I've got a playlist that consists of Deep House, Trance, The Wall by Pink Floyd and good rap songs.

 

Insta babe your followers should be following? Definitely my bestfriend @sehthompson

It wasn't too bad this year, I was last here when all the riots happened that was fun, this year was chilled, still a lot of people but mainly just beach babes tanning.

 

What was the kookiest you saw? I once saw a guy coming in through the shore break with his back to the ocean and a huge set knocked him down and his longboard broke.

Sebastian Williams? What's that?
