Due to traveling and training costs in 2016 he only competed at 3 events.  Of those he came 3rd in the Under 18’s at the English Nationals and 2nd in the under 14’s at the British Nationals, missing out on the win by 0.10! He gained 7th place at the European Surfing Championships in Morocco being the highest placed UK under 14 surfer.

This year he is moving on to compete in the Pro Juniors and is traveling to Hawaii in March.

“My footage “4 leaf clover’ is from a trip to Ireland in October 2016 with Damon Beveridge of SurfdevelopmentUK.  I have surfed in Portugal, The Azores, Morocco, France, Around the UK (Scarborough, Devon & Cornwall) & Scotland but Ireland is so far, definitely one of my favorite places to have surfed.”
