Back in the tropical south after the road trip to

Great two days of IQ Foil Training followed by the 5 days of racing. Great to see a busy Start line with IQ’s as well as all the other fleets speeding round some inflatable marks!

Same time next year ⚡️🪩

Back in Scotland and we are kicking off with an RYA WindFoil Instructor Course for Windsurfing Pathway Coaches.

4 Day in Galloway perfecting the art of WindFoiling and how to teach those first steps on a foil to performance flights! A cracking bunch with plenty of personal development through the whole course, well done team, thank you!

I have big plans to run another one of these in the south in the not too distant future so if you need to up skill then get in touch 🤙

Onto the next part of the Scottish Roadtrip

Had the pleasure of heading over to Earlier in the week to deliver a Windsurfing Pathway Club Development day, updating and enthusing the team on the pathways for the next generation of Windsurfers.

All wrapped up with some fun sessions in the afternoon looking at various ways to dribble in some racing stuff with the younger rippers coming through.

Looking forward to seeing some Buzz Blasters at Nationals in September ⚡️

Final Weekend of the IQ Foil Performance Development Programme last weekend held

A tricky weekend for wind and tide but a pleasant weekend to evaluate Worlds, put into action our learnings and refocus on the next challenge.

Really good to see the progress of this group over the last 10 Months.

Keep pushing team ⚡️

Something a little different this week. Couple of days in Weymouth working it all out to see what’s possible, how it can be done and what we need to do. Some refining to obviously be done but you got to start somewhere.

Keep an eye on the future for adaptive WingFoiling!

Weekend in Wales with a joint North and South IQ Foil Transition Camp.

Light winds Saturday followed by a glamour day on Sunday. Good to get the two groups together for some racing and sharing of knowledge!

Onto the event of the season for this lot in Scotland and then the final Transition camp in Mid August.

Regional Junior Champs 2026 with the Windsurfing Dugongs last weekend.

Big shout out to the team for taking on some tough conditions and putting in a real good effort all round.

Didn’t manage to grab a team photo as it was a busy day and was locked into the 3.5m ripper fleet. However I feel the van loading skills represents the ultimate Dugongs team skills!

I’ve been lucky enough to go to lots of different places over the years with this career/lifestyle but Thursday definitely set a new bar.

Bermuda for a day to Moderate an RYA Wing Instructor course and then head back home. Just enough time to see and experience some stuff, complete the Moderation, where some new WingSurf Instructors are now ready to take on these crystal clear waters and warm warm weather and get people winging!

Maybe next time I can stay for a little longer than 24 hours 🤞

Thanks to Tris For the adventure and also For bringing me out! Till next time Bermuda
