JC “What better way to kick start the new year than with a full power weekend at the Lancelin Ocean Classic! I have been religiously repeating my annual sojourn to Western Australia for over 25 years now and long may it continue. A lot of people ask me how my career in windsurfing photography kicked off and to be honest I can’t really remember. But I do vaguely recall that way back in 1987 I headed out to Perth with two friends, Nigel Howell and Piers Ballard and we ended up spending three months in windy Geraldton about four hours drive north. The following year, already addicted to the allure of Australia, somehow Nigel managed to convince Roger Tushingham that I was some kind of hot shot surf photographer and they paid my ticket to follow Nigel on his travels to Australia and Hawaii. As they say, ‘the rest is history!’
