Windsurfing SA 8

I've been windsurfing, surfing, sailing, since I was 10 years old, and I still love it all. Competitions kept us sharp, from windsurfer one-design to wave sailing. My favourite results are:

  • 6 × Langebaan Dash wins — 1991, 1993, 1998, 2000, 2004, 2006
  • 2 × South African Men's Overall Windsurfing Champ (wave, slalom) — 2005, 2007
  • 1 × South African Men's Wavesailing Champ (tie 1st) — 2011

Special thanks to the incredible photographers who have captured these moments with me over 40 years: Ginny Swart, Paul Wagstaff, Sam Tomé, Maleen Hoekstra, Michele Chart, Grant Scholz, Shayne Krige.

On land, I'm really into yoga and internet technology.
