Stand Up Paddleboarding has been a big part of my life for over 13 years. After racing for five years, I became the Ladies 14’ joint overall UK National Series champion in 2017 and then promptly retired. 

  

Antony - my great supporter through all my SUP adventures - and I were then both asked to be on the Events Team for the newly formed GBSUP National Series. Mark Price, the Director in 2018, asked me to join him on the Live Feed commentary and once I had grabbed the mic, I didn't want to let it go. This quickly led to the creation of SUPjunkie, promoting SUP racers and racing at home and abroad. We felt this was especially relevant when travelling to major events abroad, to really bring the competitors’ stories alive to their friends and families back home.  
 
SUPjunkie was launched at the APP World Tour event in London in 2018, where we covered two major events and grabbed 32 interviews over that weekend, including Kai Lenny, Michael Booth and Casper Steinfath. Such a memorable couple of days. 
 
Since then, it has been a whirlwind of trips around the UK and worldwide, including China, Poland, France, Demark and in 2024 officially on the media team at the ICF (Planet Canoe) SUP World Championship event in Florida, on the mic for 5 full days with Matty from TotalSUP. My ‘career’ highlight for sure. 
 
Throughout these years, Antony has picked up the camera and taken some incredible shots whilst I have been busy on the mic.  
 
Since 2018, I have been writing for Stand Up Paddle Mag UK and its sister publication The Paddler, featuring SUP racing and adventure paddling including interviews with great paddlers and adventurers from all over the world. 

  
None of this has ever felt like work, such is the love I have for the sport and there have been some great friendships and collaborations made. I am pretty much a walking encyclopedia on all things SUP related.  
 
We really hope you are inspired through the stories we tell.
