Biography.
King grew up in Port Macquarie, New South Wales, which is world-renowned in bodyboarding culture for the level of talent and number of bodyboarders it has produced. The first Australian bodyboarding world champion, Michael Eppelstun, also came from Port Macquarie. The city was officially recognised in 2010 as the "Bodyboarding Capital of Australia" and it is claimed by the Port Macquarie Bodyboarding Association to be the "Bodyboarding Capital of the World".
King cited the death of his mother as motivation for winning his first World Championship in 2003.
