A water kid

As a teenager I loved surfing, bodyboarding and spearfishing. At 16, I learnt to read the wind with an old windsurf rig someone abandoned by the side of the road. The mastfoot was broken and it barely held together, but I was thrilled to learn with it!

The drown

Fast forward over a decade and you'd find me sitting more hours in an office that I could take. Something had to change, I was missing something.

The breakpoint

In November 2016 I left everything, packed up and spent 1 year motorcycle-camping around South America. It was amazing experiencing their culture, food, meeting adventurous people and learning about myself. It was then that I realised I needed to reconnect with my passion for watersports.

The search

In June 2018 I moved back to London and put waterports at the center of my life: I moved next to a sailing centre, enroled in an RYA Level 1 sailing course and I was instantly hooked.

The hike

Shortly after my first course I started racing and educating myself in more advanced sailing skills. The more I discovered, the more my interest and passion grew for sailing sports.

The launch

In 2021 I became a certified RYA Dinghy and Windsurfing Instructor, extending my knowledge and ability to teach sailing sports. At present, I'm fortunate to be able to run adult and kids sailing and windsurfing courses for the Docklands Sailing & Watersports Centre all year round.
