With recent trips to Australia, The Canaries, and Portugal, Skippy is surfing harder and faster than ever!
Since he started competing on the BPSA Pro Tour in 2002, Skippy hasnt finised outside of the top 20.
Shaun is a
great talent out of Cornwall and has just returned from a
winter training trip with Quiksilver in Australia. Obviously this
has paid off as he has just won his first over 18 title. Shaun
has won several British and English Youth titles before stepping
up to the open divisions and there is a lot of further potential
yet. We have developed a range of shortboards
from 5'11 to 6'5 for Shaun who has a very fast aggressive style
and he has tested these boards from Porthtowan to Sydney with
great success.
