Nearly five years later

I’m hanging up my quill as Editor of Kitesurf Magazine. I don’t know the exact number, I think I’ve handled about 31-32 issues of KS, plus a load of PK and 5 issues of SUP Magazine.

It’s been a great lifestyle, there’s all the water time and last minute freedom you’d ever need and of course I’ve made a load of great friends and contacts but for the last 12 months I’ve been dreaming of a different sort of role in the kitesurfing industry. I knew exactly the sort of thing I wanted to do, but openings in the industry with the right people very seldom come up.

So it was with astonishment that I read of a position going on a forum of a brand that I knew looking for a European sales manager role. There’s gonna be a proper announcement on Monday so I’ll leave any more info till then, but I was delighted to have won the job.

I think this will give me a bit more time to focus on the bloggins too, which will be a treat, and also to spread a few articles out to other publications around the world because writing and creating features is a lot of fun.

Anyway, I hope you continue to read the bloggins, I expect it’ll remain fairly constant over here. Cheers!
