I grew up on the Isle of Wight where I got in to Windsurfing/ Surfing and Sailing from a fairly young age. I spent 9 amazing years working in Barbados teaching beginner – advanced windsurfing and surfing and diving everyday. We were based on the south coast of Barbados so spent all our time off at Silver Sands and Silver Rock wavesailing hence the love of port tack!
After arriving back in the UK I began working on a boat called Leopard of London now Leopard 3 both stunning 98ft racing yachts Leopard 3 has just broken the Fastnet race record by 8 hrs. I have been involved in the Leopard programme now for 4 years and love it. Leopard is based in the UK for the summer months and has a very busy racing programme in the Med / Caribbean/ Australia during the rest of the year. Its definitely a bit of a rock star lifestyle!! Although I have been working in yachting for the past few years my passion is still windsurfing and I sail at every given moment.
I am totally stoked to be part of the Sea sprite team and I'm really loving my new kit.
