USA Kayaksurf Worlds 2011:
Great waves great company, awesome house to share with other England team members. To pull it off to the level they did Joey and his team achieved a miracle on the back of hurricane Irene. Good show Joey. Fabulous surfing with Kate in our heat when we both shot the Pier. Hottubs!

World kayaksurf scene:
Love the way that womens surfing was such a show this year and had people standing up and taking notice. Great to see how boats are becoming more and more innovative allowing us to push the level of our surfing. It seems that with every boat the manufacturers are discovering new things in terms of performance and technology. Grat to catch up with old faces and to meet new. This worlds took me to a place that i would not have normally gone and for that it was amazing.

Future perspectives: 
Looking forward to the winter snowboarding scene and the autumn swells kicking in at home, for the future i look forward to continuing to travel with my kayak and discovering more of Indo and other tropical places.
