Welcome to my paddling page!
I have been drawn to paddling for as long as I can think - I started with a discarded surfboard on a tiny stream. My first experiences with organised sports were as a slalom paddler in Germany. Since then, I have paddled white water, marathon, sprint, freestyle, OC, whitewater racing, paddleboarding and, most recently surfski, which is how I currently spend most of my water-time on the North Sea in Scotland. This site is a mixture of a blog of paddling experiences as well as my thoughts and activities on access and equality in (paddle)sports. The photo shows me paddling in Norway, and I would currently be too scared to run that rapid.
After the amazing opportunity to represent GB at the Ocean racing World Championships in Australia last year, I have just been re-selected to compete at Worlds in Madeira in September. If you would like to support me on my journey, you can do that here, or you can reach out to me for different sponsorship opportunities. Your interest and suppport is SO appreciated!
