Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach champ is dancing to Elvis or chilling to Nina Simone

I’ve always had the biggest crush on Elvis since I was a little kid. I used to get the Elvis limited edition anything for my birthday. I love that he was a rebel for his era, and the way he lived. I just thought he was so cool. When I was younger, we couldn’t listen to rap, because it had so many curse words in it, so we’d listen to the oldie station and my mom would quiz us on the music. Whether it was the Beach Boys, the Beatles, John Lennon, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Elvis. You’d get all those classics and then Elvis would come on and I’d get so stoked! When I was younger, my favorite was “Jailhouse Rock”and “Hound Dog,” and then when I got older, I loved “Blue Suede Shoes.” I love to dance to that song.
