TESTIMONIAL

I first learnt to ski paddle during lock down on my first ever ski. I have since been paddling the new Nemesis ski which is so impressive and it's fast through the break. Reece's commitment to quality and customers is second to none and he has looked after me ever since joining Team BOS.

I was originally born in a small city at the bottom of England called Plymouth. However, the freezing water in the UK didn't foster my love for the ocean. After moving to the Sunshine Coast at an early age, my love for the beach and ocean began immediately. I joined nippers at Alexandra Headland Surf Club and have been there ever since.

Growing up I was involved in many sports such as water polo and rugby, spending every second of my free time running around and playing some sort of sport. As I got older my love for surf sports grew even stronger. I felt there was no other sport that challenged me the way Ironman racing did. You need to be good at some many disciplines, whilst also trying to navigate whatever mother nature throws your way.

In recent years I have achieved many goals. Winning multiple state championships medals and Australian ironman and surf race medals, as well as being selected in state teams and two youth Australians Lifesaving teams. My passion for racing is only getting bigger and I am determined to keep working hard to achieve the other big goals I have in this awesome sport.
