My favourite conditions at the moment are well powered up on a 5.7 down to 4.7 with my freestyle board and flat water. When that gets a bit repetitive I love to well powered up on my 82 or below in some logo high waves with port tack jumping.
I grew up near a lake called Rutland Water which is where I got in to Sailing from a fairly young age. That was due to my Dad being really keen on sailing himself. At the age of 16 I started to get into windsurfing after giving it ago on a holiday in the med. Since then I have never really looked back. When I first started I was into my racing, so one of my first boards was a formula board which I had for about a year. I then moved onto the freestyle and whenever I could get to the coast I would try to go wave sailing. For my 18th birthday I got Neilpryde and JP kit, I then had problems with the boards and decided to compete so I looked for some sponsors to help me out, Nobles where kind enough to offer me a deal which I couldn't resist for my boards. So for the last 2 years I have been competing on the UKWA circuit doing there Freewave discipline and trying to get to the wave events.
Sponsors: Nobles, Simmer Style, O'Shea Clothing, Hytner Exhibitions and Maui Fin
