Tom Parsons

I am 17 years old and I train for most of the year in Whitstable, in the south- east of England, at the moment I am still in school, but try and find as much time as I can to spend it on the water, as part of team GYRO, I hope to inspire new people into the sport and promote how cool windsurfing actually is!
