Favourite bodyboarding style A combination of Mike Stewart and Spencer Skipper. Just really smooth and fluent that makes moves that are difficult look easy. Drawing out good, clean lines and sitting correctly on  
the wave is also very important. 
Favourite boogers Mike Stewart and Spencer Skipper, also some of the  
the young Aussies like Ryan Hardy, Toby Player and Damian King. 
Favourite food Fruit, especially summer fruits like nectarines and, in  
Aussie, mango's. 
Favourite woman I don't know, there's too many to name. 
Favourite music All sorts of different stuff depending on my mood. 
First move Getting tubed in a closeout. 
Favourite move Air reverses, not that I ever do em.
 
 
  Interview questions 
  
Ed) Your nickname "goose" where did that come from? 
Dave) Oh, it all goes back to the summer of '97 when I used to work on Sunday mornings. One such Sunday, it was offshore and the waves were pumping but I had to work. By the time I got out to the beach the wind had just switched onshore and all the the local surfers at Kariotahi that I'm mates with were coming in. One of them just said "You missed it Davie Goose", and everyone just cracked up laughing. The name sort of disapeared for while but was resurrected at the start of this year by Gavin Murdoch after I told him this same story, I can't remember why, and it's just stuck since then. 

Ed) I hear that you have invented a new dance craze sensation, the "Dolphin Dive", what the hell is that? 
Dave) Nah mate, I haven't got any new ones. Just the "Goose Step" which came to be at a party in Tarra's during this years Tony Wester Comp. 

Ed) Where do you surf around Auckland? 
Dave) During the week just at Kariotahi, but on weekends I just go where ever's good. Piha and Kare Kare mostly and sometimes the east coast. 

Ed) Why did you  get rid of your long blonde locks? 
Dave) Just needed a change. It's heaps better for surfing too, not getting in the way all the time. 

Ed) You have just finished your 7th form year what are your plans for next year? 
Dave) None yet, I'll just have to see how I go in bursary. 

Ed) You meet Mike Stewart once, can you tell us about it? 
Dave) When I was in Australia last year I was surfing at this break with my friend and he just paddled out. He was over for the Shark Island Contest and he'd just come down the coast looking for waves with the friend he was staying with. It was just the four of us out and the waves were about 3 foot and really fun. Mike was a really cool guy, easy to talk to and he was surfing good too. 

Ed )Anything else you would like to add? 
Dave) Nah, that's about it.
