Would you have stepped up?
Nope! I was quite glad to be back home on the windiest day.
Once I’m bigger and better at windsurfing maybe. But I think I
can safely say I’ll never be doing a double air taka in a force 9!
Any travel plans for this year, if so where you headed?
I’ve already been to Tenerife twice - the first week was really
windy, the second I was skunked except for one light wind
day. And Tiree twice, plus Ireland. The last three I scored
some pretty fun sessions. In a few weeks time I’m headed to
Rhosneigr in NW Wales for the first BWA event of the season,
which should be great fun! After that I’m going to Pozo in
June. Gwithian the weekend after that and then home for a
rest and Christmas! It’s going to be a busy year.
What’s your favourite place on Earth to sail, and why?
Crossapol, Tiree - see above.
Away from windsurfing do you do anything else to keep
boredom levels at bay?
I love drawing and graphic design – I made a sketch the
other day that Antoine Martin used as his profile picture on
Instagram, (and I did a Xmas card for K4, I changed ‘Leon’
into ‘Noel’, get it?) – reading and writing. I also need to have
an education, which is why I’ve started an Open University
Maths course; I’ve been home educated all my life and in
recent years I’ve come to realise how much that flexibility of
not having to be in school for six hours each day allows me
to pursue my ambitions in windsurfing.
