The ‘Ask Me A Question’ function on Instagram Stories is generally a feature reserved for influencers, models, Hollywood celebs and megalomaniacs of various calibre.

Today, however we saw how the Q&A widget can be used correctly. 

Shane Dorian, surfing’s finest role model, announced that he had “time to kill today” and opened the door for his 468k-deep network to fire him a question.

Generously he compiled his favourites, added some accompanying imagery and shared.

Ever pondered Shane’s approach to parenting? The secrets to the creation of the well-rounded (and grounded) supergrom that is Jackson? And the adorable Charlie – of course!

How about his favourite books?

His views on the question of Creation versus Evolution?

Favourite surfer/s? 

College cabbage usage?

Slide on down for a cut and paste job bubbling with nuggets of wisdom…

 

Here’s Shane’s link, if you’re interested.
