About Me

My photo
After spending my teenage years racing, i've changed discipline to freestyle as theres so much more to learn and a good way to always keep pushing myself forwards. I also work for club vass in the summer seasons, teaching anything from beginner to advanced.I then travel through the winter months to places such as Dahab and Brazil for some training! I always try and have a 12 month summer! However I always end up slightly skint so end up returning to the uk for a couple of months to earn for a while. Just before last christmas, I went to Dahab,Vassilki,Brazil,and Dahab again! So as i have just returned from Vassilki,where i was working there for 6 months, im now getting ready to head to Dahab to work for the winter months...Happy days!

dahab gets onshore!

Well I know when onshore winds arrive in most places its pretty standard but when the wind blows in one direction for 99% of a year its a very nice treat to get varied conditions such as onshore!

The onshore kicked up some waves as its quite open water in Dahab. Been a flat beach it had a hard time, most sun beds were washed around and the tide came right up and the waves pushed the water into our bar area and seating area!

Even with the damage on land it still left nice windsurfing conditions for the advanced customers and the instructor's!

Here's a video of me in the onshore plus it has some clips of the damage on the centre!

New Board! and every one, I mean everyone is here!





Woooooo ! Got my new board, Skate 90 011 team edition! Looks super sweet with graphics matching my sails! Happy days!

We've had a tough couple of weeks here in dahab with only a couple of days planning, lots of looking at mirror flat water and lots of volley ball!
And constantly hearing updates from brazil from Mr Rowe and updates from people in the uk telling us how windy it is makes it a bit harder,but our turn will come around soon! Hopefully!

On the bright side! Seems like every one from the UK and Vass are here!
Bubble has arrived with Philly, Jamie Gibbs has arrived with Muzza and George doing photo's for the new Tushys with Si Crower and Jay Haysey, even Mr Tushingham himself is here!
Ellie Hooper and Ellie Ross are also in Dahab.
Never met him before but I had heard alot about him, Jonny Freshwater is here with a team of scottish which Im sure is going to be a lot of fun!
Guy cribb is here too doing one of his clinic's.
So Yeah a lot of familiar faces and a lot of new faces for me, so super keen to get to know everyone!


Also if thats not enough people theres a team of friends and flying fish from Vassiliki here too plus all the guys that work here and along the beach, so mix all this together and throw a saturday night party at the club for the customers and the result, well, Sat here with a horrific hang over ramberling on about who is here haha.


There was a few nice posh camera floating around at the party so Im sure that there will be some good photo's coming soon!


For now I've just uploaded a few of photo's of the new board and a photo of me and seb from maybe the only windy day of the past week in baby bay!

New Sails!



New Sails!

Whoop Whoop!

Been to BOARDWISE to day to collect my new sails. I've had a set of 2011 north Ice's in code mad.

The Code mad is a optional extra on the normal sails witch is colored panels which looks super sexy.

BOARDWISE have given me a set of stickers to go with the sails to which you can see in the photo's.

tomorrow I'm heading out to dahab with my new kit and new camera so hopefully get a good video put together on my new kit!

Big thank you to boardwise for sorting all my new kit for me and of course fanatic!
