JC: When you come home to the Isle of Wight is that when you just like to follow your passions of surfing and wave sailing at your home spots and escape the training and testing regime?
RW: When I am back on the island, I know how to make the most out of the best tide and condition states, so my schedule always revolves around the forecast. I can’t stand to think that I am on the island and I might have missed the best couple of hours! That is why you might see me paddling out while it is dark, or sailing during the coldest, darkest days during the winter. I love the feeling of challenging myself to score the prime conditions, so work can be rescheduled around those moments.
