Area of expertise

By trade I am a windsurfer! My childhood quest was to find a way to windsurf as much as possible and turning professional seemed like a great way of doing that.

I compete on the PWA World Tour (www.pwaworldtour.com) and UKWA Tour (www.ukwindsurfing.com) in the Wave and sometimes the Super X disciplines and promote both my sponsors and the sport through all areas of the media.

I have a portfolio of sponsors who provide support to allow me to compete and who I work for, gaining publicity in as many different areas of the media. I am one of the most published windsurfers in the UK and write regular reports and travel tales for the UK’s Number 1 Windsurfing Magazine, BOARDS. I also achieve regular press coverage in national papers and on television giving my sponsors some great unrivalled media coverage.

Windsurfing is my main aim but the media and promotions side of my work is also a major part of my life, and something that I enjoy doing. I am also the current holder of the Britain’s Most Extreme title, but that’s another story...
