Where’s your local these days, if you have one?
2018 (so far) has been a strange one – not that windy really. I have
sailed 37 times so far this year and as usual it has been split between
the UK and Lanzarote. In the UK I’ve sailed at Filey (1), Avon (1),
Rhosneigr (5) and Fraisthorpe (14). In Lanzarote I have scored
Jameos (9) and Costa Teguise (7).
Who’s your crew that you hang out/sail with?
The Fraisthorpe, East Yorkshire, crew would have to be Chris Sykes, Brad
White and John Wright (who I’ve been sailing with a lot recently.) We have
also had some memorable east coast adventures with Steve Thorp.
In Rhosneigr I’ve sailed with George B and Phil Johnson for many
years, Alex Tritten, John and Paul McLawrence and recently Steve
Laddiman has been joining us on both coasts. The usual suspects in
Costa Teguise are Rob Cattee and Claudio and in Jameos, Nejc Zupan
and Tim Orchard.
Why wave sailing in particular? Is it only wave
that floats your boat or are you happy to blast
about on the flat?
I’d have to say yes to that, it’s definitely the wave sailing. I will go out
in the flat just to get a bit of water time though. But for me it’s wave
sailing, whether it be float and ride or full powered jumping and wave
riding, there’s just nothing else that comes close to it.
