Crossing for Cystic Fibrosis 2024
This year's Crossing for Cystic Fibrosis event was a true test of endurance and resilience mentally, physically, and emotionally. The event proved to be far more challenging than anticipated, with unexpected obstacles and intense weather conditions adding to the physical and mental strain. Postponed twice due to severe thunderstorms, the race commenced under seemingly favorable downwinding conditions along the 32-mile course. However, the tranquility felt short-lived as a storm swept in around the 36km mark, transforming the serene ocean into what felt like an insane battleground.
10 Years of Paddle Logger
Ten years ago, Paddle Logger began its journey on a Cornish beach. Founder David, inspired by summers spent paddling, wondered how many miles were being clocked up. This curiosity sparked the creation of Paddle Logger, and with the help of Lewis, the first iteration was released a few months later—a unique app dedicated to ocean athletes.

My Experience at the ICF 2021 SUP World Championships in Hungary
When I decided I wanted to go to the ICF 2021 SUP World Championships, I didn’t anticipate still being in the midst of a global pandemic. Travelling in the current climate isn't easy, but flying with a very fragile 14' race board to a country where you're supposed to quarantine for ten days upon entry and then find your way to a town two hours from the airport felt almost impossible. Despite that, one of my goals this year was to race internationally and I was determined to make it happen. I travelled with Blue Ewer who was also competing for Team GB, and my boyfriend Jaime as support crew. After nearly more hiccups than my stress levels could cope with en route, we eventually made it to Balatonfüred in Hungary.
