7. Do you have any plans for other long distance routes in 2014?
Will definitely do Lefkada again, but head the opposite way, and hopefully tick off some
other Greek islands during the summer.

8. What gear are you currently using and why?
I’ve been very lucky to get support from JP International and NP surf, through the guys
at Agent Eight. I’m kitted out with a couple of flat water race boards, NP paddles and
accessories. I’m very grateful for their help.
9. How did their support come about?
My friend Andy Chambers works at Agent Eight. They were looking for a rider to join the
team and I guess he liked what I did last year so the partnership was born.
10. Any plans to compete?
I’m thinking of doing the SUP 11 Cities again but maybe this time the non stop
category. It will definitely be the biggest challenge I’ve ever taken on. I’ll no doubt go
through some new pain barriers – both physically and mentally.
11. What’s on your agenda after the winter?
I head back to Vass in April. GlobalShots will continue photography and film making, as
well as organising another SUP event during August – we’ll be looking to improve on last
years.
12. Give a brief rundown of the other sports you do and how they help with SUP.
I windsurf, kitesurf, ski, snowboard and MTB – it’s good to mix things up.

13. Any final shout outs?
The GlobalShots team, the Club Vass team and the Agent Eight team – all a great bunch
of people.
