BRAND AMBASSAD SHAUN LAVERY SHAUN LAVERY SHAUN LAVERY SHAUN LAVERY SHAUN H aving spent most of his young life on the water, it was virtually a given that Brand Ambassador, Shaun Lavery, would end up working in the boating industry and dedicating his spare time to serving the skiboating community. As area manager for Yamaha SA and committee member, Commodore and Vice-Commodore of Durban Skiboat Club – he’s well-known in boating circles around the country and especially for his involvement and enthusiasm for skiboating. Since 2004, he’s been an avid Lowrance user, having had numerous models over the years – and we’ll talk about his favourites later. Growing up in Durban North with the sea on his doorstep, afforded Shaun endless opportunities to explore different watersports as a youngster. “We were always around water and I tried everything from body boarding to surfing, wakeboarding, waterskiing, Hobie Cat sailing (and more) and fishing of course. I first started freshwater fishing with my dad Colin when I was about seven years old but was introduced to skiboat angling at about 11…and I was hooked.”
