Beyond IQFOIL
My Passion for Wing Foiling
While IQFOIL racing is a huge part of my life, I also have a real passion for wing foiling.
Away from the IQFOIL course, I love riding waves and making the most of the swell along the south coast with friends.
Winging is another way for me to enjoy being on the water, and it’s something I also love sharing with others through my coaching.
Whether it’s developing new techniques or simply making the most of the conditions, spending time on the water is what it’s all about.
Sharing My Experience
Alongside my training and international racing, I offer practical, hands-on IQFOIL and wing foiling coaching.
My approach focuses on demonstrations, personalised feedback and spending time on the water together, helping you develop your skills and improve your technique.
Supporting My Journey
I’m incredibly grateful to the sponsors and partners who support my journey towards LA 2028 and beyond.
Their support plays a vital role in helping me pursue my ambitions and continue competing internationally. If you’re interested in supporting my Olympic campaign, I’d love to hear from you.
