3 days into the @defiwind and I’m 69th out of 1500😆 It’s been so sick to get back windsurfing and to be with so many others along with being so high up the rankings is all mega special🤘 Tired is an understatement from the past consecutive 9 days of @defikite @defiwing @defiwind , but last day tomorrow and ready to keep sending it🚀 The princess hat is going strong🧙 . . 📸- @defiwind @jmcornuoriginalphotography @mchjlouis #windsurf #defiwind #sport #extreme #race

HOLY MOLY- 7th at the @defiwing and 8th overall🚀🌍 To finish in this position against over 700 other riders in the biggest international wingfoil competition ever is a unreal🤘 I started it off with a 2nd place and kept the results up amidst the multiple extreme wipe outs I had each race💥 I love sending it so hard always on the edge of crashing, and experiencing my performance is amongst the very best in the world is epic🙌 (the princess hat deffo helped🪄) Now I’m straight into the @defiwind with no rest- every day more partying on the water by day and in the tent by night🪩 . 📸- @defiwing @jmcornuoriginalphotography @alice.read @mchjlouis

Mega fun pushing the limits on the edge of wiping out and ready to keep pushing💪 Mega thanks to @pos_worldspeedtour for the event and everyone else making this event possible, and to @weymouthspeedweek for the prize entry🙏 Congrats to my sister @alice.read picking up first women’s spot, teammate @k12urf getting bronze, @chrisbenzwatches in 4th and @pierre_schmitou in top spot🙌 Now onto the @defiwind competing in all 3 disciplines kite, wingfoil, windsurf🚀 . . 📸- @alice.read @pos_worldspeedtour @weymouthspeedweek #worldtour #speed #2nd #race #podium

2026 @wingfoilracing Formula European championships in Naples is complete and it was another cool mission🇪🇺🇮🇹 Had a sick time and learnt loads this week with 6-12kn wind each day, big numbers of riders, lots of new equipment, and more all making many new challenges I hadn’t prepped for so making it hard for me to perform to my best ending in 28th/81🙌 This tour continues to change as thoughts of the Olympics bring in new things to think about and have to battle with but keeping it fun still remains🚀 Mega thanks to @ozone.wing for the new fusion V3, @airinside.boards for the epic boards, @chubanga.foil , and @moattsails for the harness lines🔥 Prep for the next mission is starting- it’s going to be a big one🚀 . . 📸- @wingfoilracing @r_hajduk #europeanchampionships #competition #foiling #race #wingfoil

HOLY MOLY- round 2 of the @holy.moly.league was epic🤩 Was so sick to see the project continue to grow with over 40 people involved with even more new riders joining, getting on the water and sharing the stoke. The vibes were unreal from the briefing in the morning all the way to the party in the evening🪩🚀 Mega thank you to everyone who helped make this awesome event what it was, from all the volunteers making the day smooth and fun to every rider who sent it on the water. It wouldn’t be the same without the amazing community we have so thank you🙌🙏 Shout out to my sister @alice.read too for helping on the socials and rib meaning I could be winging all day🙏 Already working hard on the next @holy.moly.league - stay tuned to join the fun😆 . Pure epic shots from🤩 @mikepringuer @joeldaveyphotography @alice.read . #holymoly #fun #event #wingfoil #sport
