For those that know me, you will  know that for me, life truly is about being on the water. It is certainly the main influencing factor in my thoughts and decisions. From where I have lived and travelled around the World to how I look at each day.

Living in Scotland for most of the year, the weather becomes the compass upon which all decisions are made. When it rains (this is Scotland after all), the rivers rise and bring with them opportunities to hit the rapids and surf standing waves.

Windy days might put paid to flat water SUP plans, but for me, it is a time to start rigging up. From Kites to Wing foils via Windsurfing, I love the feeling of how to tune into the invisible force that is the wind.

Flat, calm days and it is time to explore, paddle around the next bend in the river, round that next cliff.

When the conditions align, then the Surf God's are there to reward you, my personal, truly special passion of riding waves.

In the new video 'Life on the Water' I set out to represent the diversity of Scotland and how, if engaging with the weather, incredible experiences can be gained. I purposefully looked at different landscapes, light and shade to represent the real Scottish experience - grey skies are a fairly likely background, so I made sure I didn't hide this fact.

I hope that you enjoy the video.
