Graduated from University with a degree in Travel and Tourism Management. Plans for now are just travel, enjoy my surfing and compete at as many events possible.
I've competed on the British Longboard Union Tour, so I'll be aiming to do this each year along with the Irish and European events. This all will be incorporated around my travel plans.
