76 PROFILEMATT YORK
What are your plans for the rest of 2019
as far as windsurfing goes?
To get back on the water ASAP! I was gutted to miss
Weymouth last year so I want to be fit for that. And be ready
for the winter storms to chase those speeds again. Id like to
get a result up for the British Speed Challenge as well. I’ve
been 2nd twice now behind that Jim Crossley feller, ha ha!
Any general views on windsurfing as
a whole?
Windsurfing is awesome, whatever discipline you’re into just
have fun and share the love!
Thanks and praise?
Massive thanks to everyone who has helped me along the
way from Tristan (gpsspeed) and Rick (ROHO) to my current
day sponsors:
Simon at Boardwise.
Daz at Rockerline for keeping me warm.
Ashley at Baydesigns for his awesome stickers.
Guillaume at Gasoil Fins for some amazingly fast fins.
Simmer Style for well the best equipment there is
O’Shea Surf for superb paddle boards.
Zara and Pete (Davis) for being awesome team mates.

Farrel O’Shea – what can I say. The guy’s a legend, a true
gent and I’m stoked to call him my mate – thanks Faz!
And without a doubt my wife Marcy for putting up with me,
setting the alarms for 4am in the mornings, putting up with
me waking up and the first thing I do is look out the window
to see what the wind is doing! Standing in the howling winds
taking photos in the rain and everything!
