Who or what inspires you? Watching anyone do something they are passionate about and do it with skill.
What's your idea of perfect happiness? Maybe sitting by an infinity pool at sunset looking over the ocean drinking a cocktail next to my lovely wife, Taylor Swift.
Which living person do you most admire? Slater has just won his 11th world title. He has dominated a sport over 20 years and progressed with each year, changing his surfing with the times. I think he is a genius as well, pretty admirable person.
What's your greatest extravagance?? I talk to my dogs more than people probably?
What word or phrase do you most overuse? I type "hahahah" way too often.
What do you consider your greatest achievement? Being able to make money off of surfing and travel with my friends.
If you could, what or who would you come back as in your next life? I'd come back as a one of those birds that can swim under water. Because then I could fly, swim, and eat fish all day.
What's your most treasured possession? This bad boy I'm typing on right now.
If you could live anywhere, where would it be and why? If we are going fantasy right now, I'd live at Snapper and make it a private beach.
What is your favorite occupation? I think producing music would be pretty amazing.
What do you most value in your life? Road trips to Hatteras with some mates.
Career highlights: 1st place ASP Pro Jr 2009. 7th us champs, hunington beach, ca
History: born and raised in the same house( virginia beach) 49th street near the beach. i m gonna be a rock star.
The 2007 Eastern Surfing Association all-star team captain, Philip Goold currently the Number Two man in the East Coast rankings. A high school senior, and five-time ESA all-star, Goold is looking to soon graduate from East Coast competition and begin a new chapter of his life on the nation junior circuit. In anticipation of this he’s been spending some of his free time Down Under training and learning under the tutelage of Aussie surf coach Martin Dunn. “We did a lot of mock heats and strategizing,” says Goold. “Plus he shows you things like where to put your hands in different places for speed out of the turn.” International workout regiment aside, on a day-to-day basis the tight-knit, devout surf community of Virginia Beach is what keeps Goold the most stoked. “The jetty crew definitely gives me a hard time,” he admits. “It’s cool though, they keep me motivated.”
