After a good session, you sort of feel like
you've been dragged backwards blindfold
through a hedge
When I windsurf during the week it costs me
money in lost earnings but this is a trade off
I've long been used to
waves break very heavily over a sand bar that keeps the
wave’s power very concentrated. It’s choppy as hell a lot
of the time and the sea state is very confused. After a
good session, you sort of feel like you’ve been dragged
backwards blindfold through a hedge.
And abroad?
There are so many incredible wave spots in the UK and
Ireland that we are spoilt for choice but I’ve had
memorable sessions in Waitara, New Zealand; Margaret
River, Australia; The Neck, Tasmania; Pechilemu, Chile;
Arroyo Laguna, California; Kuau, Maui.
As we understand it you have two young children
in the mix. Does this make nabbing windy
sessions trickier? How do you go about scoring
time on the water?
That’s right. I’ve got less free time now that I have kids
but in theory I can still windsurf as much I just have to
work less to free up the time ! Fortunately, all my work
is done over the internet so I manage my time almost
entirely. That means when I windsurf during the week it
costs me money in lost earnings but this is a trade off
I’ve long been used to. So right now I earn less money
than I used to before having kids and I buy more time.
At some point that may have to change but it’s a real
way of living.
