As a fellow UK northern monkey seeing you develop and compete on the UK national tour, how did these experiences shape your life and career now?
Yes James, shout out to all the northern monkeys! Competing on the UK national tour was definitely a fantastic stepping-stone. It’s one thing throwing tricks freeriding and a whole other thing performing them in competition. The British championships helped me so much to go on and compete internationally. I built my name and career in kitesurfing from competing, and it all started on the British tour back in 2007.

What have you learnt most about yourself and the world during your time traveling so much?
I think traveling educates you greatly. I’ve learnt so much, and become so much more of a rounded person. It’s taught me to wear my heart on my sleeve – you never really know when you’re next going to see that person. I like to tell the people that are special to me
