TESTIMONIAL

I have been working with Reece and paddling his surf skis since the launch of BOS Oceansport back in 2014. In the years since our first meeting, I have been chasing and achieving my dreams riding the fastest and best crafted surf skis on the water. Reece has been a caring mentor for me throughout the triumphs and challenges of my career, his support and friendship has always been invaluable and unwavering and the surf skis he has crafted, unbeatable! BOS surf skis are designed with well advanced marine knowledge, a lifetime of ocean paddling experience, attention to detail, genuine care and passion.

Personal profile

I have played some AFL football, I love music, I play guitar, I am a primary school teacher, junior and senior SLS coach, mentor, keynote speaker and current Molokai 2 Oahu World ocean ski champion and record holder. Most proudly, I gave birth to my baby girl Milee in 2022 and since becoming a mother I am developing new skills everyday.

While racing my BOS surf ski I have won:

Nutri-Grain Iron Woman series title
World IronWoman Series in Bali
6 x Molokai 2 Oahu world paddle board titles
10x ISA world paddle board titles
A world surf life saving surf ski title representing Australia
An Australian ski relay, taplin relay and board race gold medal
I have trained many, many km’s on my BOS to become the first person to win both the paddle board and ocean ski Molokai 2 Oahu world paddle titles

From as young as I can remember I have been very intrinsically motivated to be the best I can be. I channeled this drive into all aspects of life growing up but my greatest passion was sport. I trained and competed at the elite level for gymnastics and at 12 made the decision that I wanted to experience and do more than just this.

With my new freedom I started to put my time and commitment into running and paddling. This is where my surf sports ambitions and goals evolved into living my dream as a professional surf Iron Woman. I developed my passion for working with children through Nipper clinic opportunities and am now a qualified primary school teacher, mother to my baby girl and still the fastest woman to paddle across the Molokai to Oahu Kaiwi channel.
