6. Do you have any top tips for paddlers
wanting to get involved with clean ups?
Using paddlesports as a vehicle to spark interest
is a great way of attracting attention to the issue
- if people enjoy being on the water they will
naturally start to feel more protective of it.
Next summer I’m planning to lead a series of paddle
boarding clean-ups up and down the country.
There will be full details on my website so people
can have a go at paddle boarding but also help
contribute to the #PlasticPatrol campaign.
7. What’s up next for you?
My next challenge is out of the water as I’m doing my first
ever long distance run - it’s 84 miles, coast to coast, along
the length of Hadrian’s Wall. A lot of my core training
and conditioning for this has been on the paddle board,
so it’s definitely played a part in helping me train.
