Years / Surfing Experience: I have been surfing since the age of 16 (18 years) and in my surfing career have lived in France, Ireland, the UK and spent 3 years living and surfing in South America. I have surfed all over Europe and the UK being somewhat of a Scarborough and Scotland aficionado. I regularly surf the reefs on the South Coast in winter - Brighton and Bournemouth as well as travelling incessantly to Devon and Cornwall constantly.
Why Big Waves: I love surfing big waves for the speed, grace and the scale: the whole ocean heaving up under me.
Extras: I have been a member of the London Surf Club (http://www.londonsurfclub.com) since my teens and have been President for over ten years. I am a professional National and International Judge, both BSA and ASP accredited. I also sit on the Executive Committee of the BSA (British Surfing Association), and chair the Environmental Committee, dealing with wave energy and multi-purpose reefs in particular.
