Any final
shouts and
thanks?
Scott Warren of course,
Starboard SUP UK,
Standuppaddleuk, Marc
Hambidge, West
Country Surf Wax and
everyone from the
previous answer. The
Jersey crew, The St Ives
crew also have helped
me a lot recently.
13Do you do any other sports
outside of stand up? If so
what are they and how do
they help with cross over
training – if at all?
16What about at home –
any place you wish you
were at more often?
North Devon Rivermouth reef break. 20
minutes from home. World renowned. I
really like to push the SUP scene there
amongst the heavy localism of
shortboarders.
I compete at swimming regularly. I also
mountain bike, road bike, windsurf,
kitesurf and shortboard surf.
17If you were giving advice
to any young up and
coming paddlers, what
would you say?
14Who are your SUP heroes
and why do you look up to
them?
Zane Schweitzer, Connor Baxter, Sean
Poynter, Peter Kosinski, Marie
Buchanan, Ollie Shilston, Jo Hamilton
Vale – too many to list. All push the
limits of the sport and are great role
models for myself.
Enjoy it and push yourself. Sometimes it
isn't all about competition.
18Do you have any
mentors?
Crispin Jones, Scott Warren, Glenn
Eldridge, Andy Joyce. All have helped
me along the way and have achieved
great things themselves.
15Tell us about your
overseas SUP travel to
date. Where’s your fave
global paddling spot?
A spot up north in Tenerife I can't name,
or they won't let me back.
