Is this Australia’s fittest sports reporter? Television star shows off his muscular figure while going for a surf in Sydney
A television news reporter was spotted showing off his surprisingly muscular figure on Tuesday.
Channel Ten sports presenter Scott Mackinnon bared his sculpted torso on Sydney’s Tamarama beach.
The weekend sports reporter from 10 News First walked across the sand looking pale with his black wetsuit rolled up to his waist.
Mackinnon strode into the sea with his white surfboard, ready to brave the big waves on Sydney’s popular beach.
The father-of-two was all smiles as he braved the choppy waters for an invigorating ride on the waves.

He has previously hosted motorsport magazine show RPM, the Supercars Championship, the MotoGP World Championship and was a pit reporter at the 2019 Australian Formula 1 Grand Prix.
He also hosted the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan and the 2021 MotoGP World Championship.

In addition to the weekend sports role, Mackinnon also hosts the network’s A-League football coverage in the studio and on the sidelines.
Mackinnon is married to wife Vanessa, and the couple share two children together: a daughter and a son.
Earlier this year, the sports presenter took part in a 24-hour Pilates for Mental Health event to raise money for Lifeline Australia.
Announcing his involvement on his Instagram, he said he had ‘never done Pilates before’ but was keen to give it a try ‘to raise money for Lifeline’.
The world’s first event was hosted by KX Pilates, with all proceeds going to the suicide prevention hotline.
