Wind and Water.
Being able to harness the power of these two elements for me is the ultimate crossover of extreme sports.
what is a Waterman?
Growing up on an island surrounded by the warm indian ocean, from a young age, willow spent every waking hour on the water.
learning how to surf was one thing. but the limitations of surfing rely on one thing and one thing only; Waves.
willow quickly found himself seeking out other water sports to maximise his time on the water… Kitesurfing, hydro-foiling, stand-up paddling and wing-foiling created him into the passionate water man he is today.
