I used to have a blog but then I left it and forgot about it and didnt really do much with it……… Then came facebook and all its glory and it just doesnt tell the story I want it to tell so here is MY STORY! straight from the horses mouth.


In Short……

Im a Brit….. Born and bread in Portsmouth on the sunny south coast of England
Studyed a National Diploma Sports Science Outdoor Education,
BA Honours Degree in Watersports Studies and Management (yes its a real degree)

Bought a Van lots of boats and set about coaching paddlesport throughout the UK.

If it floats I can paddle it!
