Back in 1998 I was one of the founding members of Ozone paragliders, from there the rest of my working life to date has been within Ozone. Flying hang-glides from 1985, then paragliders and finally kites. This is my background and experience, leading to many interesting hours of testing and designing equipment.

I have no favourites, I am passionate about all our disciplines, I just feel lucky to have such a great choice of sports that we are involved with.

They all represent freedom to me and a way to focus on the moment, like a deep meditation perhaps.

I work with a fantastic team of people and that makes every day interesting and fun.

Reo 6m, it is the ideal size for cross off wave riding. It always brings a smile to my face when I pump up as I know I am going to have a good session. Easy to fly, responsive and helps make my wave riding better than it really is because the kite helps me be in the right place.
