Turkey
Just had an early morning session in the cold waters of the UK and now ready to hit Turkey for a wee while! Ian Edmondson from Expix Photography is with me and also Martyn Hogg, so we are in for one hell of a trip! Now for wind PLEASEEEEEEEE. Posts and pics coming soon
I started Kitesurfing with the shop Funsport in Rhosneigr, North Wales while I was at University in Bangor! That was in 2002. I finished my degree in Zoology and Animal Ecology and then took a year out to go travelling and improve my kitesurfing. It took me a while to learn how to get up and going on a kite - 2 months. It takes most people 2 weeks but once I had that mastered it was quite quick that I learned some moves. I started competing a year later and finished 4th in the British Championships. I since became sponsored and then won the British Championships for two years in a row. In 2006 I competed for the first time on the entire world circuit and I finished 4th overall. My best result of the year was 2nd. In 2010 I came 2nd in the PKRA World Tour in Morocco which is the last competition I entered. Now I focus on creating magazine content and short movies for the internet. I have also set up a business in Kitesurfing Coaching Holidays helping others to improve their level.
