Nick-named “Killer” by his rivals there is a bipolar disconnect between Ky the Ironman Legend and
Ky the family man. Ky has reinvented himself across 3 sports and tells a compelling story about risk
taking and sailing into unchartered waters.
At the early age of 15, Ky became one of the youngest contenders in the Uncle Toby’s Ironman Super

Series, winning three annual titles consecutively. He is the only man to have won 7 x Australian Iron-
man titles and is now regarded as one of the best Ironmen in the history of Surf Lifesaving. His drive

has seen him win 30 x Australian Surf Titles and now a proud member of the Surf Lifesaving’s Hall
of Fame. Wanting to challenge himself further, Ky set his sights on the Olympics competing at both
the 2008 Beijing and 2012 London Olympics Games in the 10km open swim. With always a thirst for
more, Ky tried his hand at yachting and was selected as the lead grinder on Team Oracle in the
America’s Cup. The multi-talented athlete has been training and competing in America and has
since returned home to Australia.
