I'm one of the very few privileged athletes that gets to travel around the World as a part of their sport! Here you can read my stories of my adventures - from the highs to the lows, I try to cover everything within "Sarah's Stories"...
Tenerife – the ultimate windsurfing holiday destination!
Finding a location with World Class windsurfing conditions for both slalom and wave sailing, only 10 minutes from a major international airport with daily flights across Europe and warm weather and constant wind all year around is a rarity. In fact it’s what makes Tenerife my year-round go to destination for windsurfing in Europe. It’s […]
BEAUTIFUL BUT TREACHEROUS – ROAD TRIPPING ALONG ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS ROUTES IN EUROPE
After the PWA in Croatia, it was a pretty quick hop over to Gran Canaria as the World Cup started only 2 days later, so the only option was to leave my van in Croatia, with the local photographer (who happened to be English) – and to him I owe a huge thank you as […]
WINNING MY FIRST FOIL RACE, BREAKING SPEED RECORDS AND A NEW ADVENTURE…
So I wrote the first part of this at the end of June after an amazing training camp in Tarifa, but with the PWA starting on the 2nd of July, I never managed to finish it and I’ve barely stopped since then so this month you’re getting a 2-for-1! After the Defi, I had two […]
RACING CARNAGE WITH 1200 PEOPLE AT THE DEFI WIND!
It feels like barely a week has passed since my last monthly mail, but here we are again! This last month has been BUSY! We had our first event of the season last week in France at the Defi Wind, so the last month has mainly been training and preparing for that as well as […]
TOP 3 IN THE WORLD – GOING OVER 30 KNOTS ON A FOIL IN LAKE GARDA!
From Tenerife it was on to the beautiful Lake Garda for the next block of training! The focus was foiling – it’s not been my first love, as a true “fin addict” but its a major part of the game now and something I have embraced! In Garda I took delivery of my foil specific […]
TIME’S UP IN TENERIFE – THE FULL LOW DOWN FROM THE BEST WINTER TRAINING
My time on Tenerife is up and what an amazing winter we have had! Whilst we have had a shortage of “True Tenerife” conditions, it’s safe to say I’ve benefited a lot from being out here this winter. It’s the first time I’ve ever been able to fully dedicate a solid block of time to […]
FULL POWER FEBRUARY: HARDCORE TRAINING IN TENERIFE AT THE TWS PRO SLALOM CAMP
Wow! What a month that was! After a slow start to the year, it’s safe to say February was jam packed full with action. It’s been non-stop training this month with over 500km sailed. I’ve been pushing my limits on both fin and foil, even trying the 5.0 on the foil (that was scary!). It’s […]
Starting a new adventure: MONTHLY MAIL – January 2022
Welcome to my first monthly mail where I try to keep you updated with what’s happening in my world, what my plans are for the upcoming months… AND…finally I can say I have arrived in Tenerife! About 1 month later than I had originally hoped, but now fully legal, with the right visas and paperwork! […]
SARAH’S STORIES ~ TALES FROM THE TIREE WAVE CLASSIC
It’s been an amazing week up in Tiree for the Tiree Wave Classic! Windsurfing, surfing, beach cleaning, walking and a whole lot of cake eating (thank you Fiona)! Tiree is definitely one of my favourite events and it’s one of those places where I find I can just switch off from the outside world and […]
