Q: HOW DID YOU GET INTO THIS LINE OF WORK?
A: My dad got me into surfing and cliff jumping when I was a child. I’ve always loved the water and being outdoors - I can’t sit still inside for too long, even as a teenager. I’ve always wanted to work outdoors and be active.
Q: TELL US ABOUT A TYPICAL DAY FOR YOU?
A: On a typical day I might get to the ‘office’ at 8am. I’ll check and pack my equipment for the day, making sure everything is in good working order, then head the short distance to Stackpole Quay to meet my first clients. I normally take about 5-6 people on a session - although we can cater for larger and smaller groups. After a short but thorough safety briefing, we swim or wade out to Stackpole Quay for our first jump! We follow the coast around towards Barafundle, offering small jumps and scrambles, and more challenging options for those looking for a more adrenaline filled experience. Each group is different - so we never know how far we’ll get - but fun and a sense of adventure is guaranteed. After a morning of coasteering, I usually head over to Freshwater West - ready for an afternoon surf session. I love teaching beginner and intermediate surfing - and with the light summer evenings, often try and fit in an after work session with colleagues too when the waves are good!
