This is Jason writing from Sunny Dapto, I've just come back from Byron Bay surfing. We got some left barrels and saw whales, a shark and some dolphins. We camped in tents right on the beach. I got into stand-up surfing in year 12 at High School. I went to Dapto high and had the joyous privilege of doing my HSC twice! After that I did nursing at Wollongong Uni and finished last year. I grew up in Dapto, I'm one of 4 boys (number 3).

Andrew wrote about bikes. My best stunt story on a bike is riding into a brick wall and going head over turkey. I hit my head, there was a bit of blood and stitches. I was only 5 years old. Your'e allowed to do that kind of thing when your'e little.

My favourite movie is Braveheart. Some sick bands are Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Smashing Pumpkins and Soundgarden. I've known Jesus since I was little. I knew alot about what he had done but I didn't know him personally or anything. I guess I thought Jesus was for people out there but not for me. Then when I was 13 I realised for the first time that when Jesus died on the cross he was dying my death and that he loves me personally. I blew out and trusted in him and I've been following Jesus ever since. Jesus is the full on best.

Someone asked me a while ago what most impresses you about Jesus. Its hard to say. That he knew how much it would hurt to die on the cross and still went there, thats hardcore. God coming here as a person, Jesus, thats amazing. He never changes as well, not like me who gets tired and weak, his strength and love are unchanging. If he says it he does it. He rose to life after being dead for three days, no-one does that.
