Thirty years ago three of us set up the business and we all run it today. Myself, my husband Gavin and our best buddy Rupert Musgrave. We all met on a course at the Shackleton Outdoor Education Centre.

Growing up in Dunmore East, school was an inconvenience for me, I could not wait for class to end to go windsurfing.
