Quatro Twin Fins article
- Publication: Boardseeker Magazine
- Date: March '08
The Quatro Twin fins deserve to be talked about. They are quitely simply the next board you need to get. They not only make you rip in big waves but most amazingly, they are unbelievable in the small powerless stuff to. Think surfing speed
and cut backs. Myself and Andy King (Goya's UK front man) discuss just what the difference is. Click on the image of the article to find out more...

Kimmeridge Bay December Sessions
- Publication: UTube/ Boardseeker Magazine/ Seasprite Sports
- Date: December '07
It doesn't get this
good that often was the morale of the story. Fortunately there were plenty of people around to document it. Photos were snapped and videos filmed. Follow this link to view the Smedmore Saga unfold (it sounds like an Agatha Christie novel).
New Zealand - The Great Escape
- Publication: Boards Magazine article
- Date: Out September '07
To make the winter 2007 training trip just that little bit different it was decided to head to somewhere a little bit different - just a little bit special.
New Zealand fit the bill and proved an epic training ground. Something to note - out of all the time out there it was just pure wave-riding!
Red Bull Storm Chase DVD
- Publication: Internationally sold DVD - in the shops now.
- Date: Launch date Spring 2007.
Arguably the biggest project windsurfing has seen in a decade, the Red Bull storm chase captured Europes best windsurfers in the Biggest Baddest storms.

"This is the ultimate concept in windsurfing"
Biographical about James
-Publication: Windsurf Magazine, National readership
-Date: January 2006.
This promotional piece was put together as part of a series on exposing the windsurfers who were competing
in the UKWA (UK windsurfing association's) professional fleet.
Portugal Travel Article.
- Publication: Boards Magazine, National readership
- Date: September, 05
Pals James Cox, Clyde Waite and Ian Clingan reported on the highs, the drop ins and the rotting that takes place down in Guicho, Portugal. Read to learn why it isn't good enough buying your girlfriend a birthday present on the ferry back home, and why you should stay away from anyone on the water shouting 'Kiss me'! Boardseeker Magazine Jump Off competition.
- Publication: Boardseeker Magazine, 14,000 subscription (June 2006).
- Date: June, 2005.
Yet another great concept from Boardseeker Magazine: take the UK's best windsurfers and get them all in one place (this one happened to be in South Africa) and get them to perform set moves within a competition time frame. Don't judge yourselves but get the reader's of the magazine to cast their votes on the best moves. James came 2nd overall out of 12 competitors.
California Travel article
- Publication: Windsurf Magazine, UK Publication
- Date: September 2004.
James couldn't have believed it got this good. California turned out to be one of the most epic trips ever. As a summer destination it had it all - adventure, drama, windsurfing, whatever!
