“Once I’d made the decision I felt both good and bad. It was obviously a period of uncertainty. It was scary, like ‘Oh boy, here I go’ I was heading into the unknown of what I’ve not done before. At the same time it felt like the right decision, so I rolled with it. These last three years have been amazing for me. I was scared to jump, but once I did, I couldn’t have asked for a better few years. It’s been just a breath of fresh air. Working with Ezzy is cool and my board sponsor, Starboard, are also still supporting me.
I’ve been doing exactly what I want to do. I’ve been getting into the filming, taking photos and doing trips. I’ve been testing sails and helping Ezzy with their promotion via the video and pictures. I’ve been going to places I want to go. It feels like I’ve used all those years on tour to get to this spot right now. There’s no pressure on me. David Ezzy isn’t bothered if I do contests. He just wants me to promote the brand and believe in their equipment. I’ve been doing the A.W.T., which is a totally different vibe. They’re fun, cruiser events, but I still obviously want to win – but if you don’t it’s not the end of the world”.
I TRAINED FOR ALL THOSE YEARS … AND NOW I’M PUTTING A SIMILAR EFFORT INTO ANOTHER PASSION
