Our main instructor down at the school for the last two years, Oscar is extremely talented and has been windsurfing on the water his whole life. Chris' eldest son, Oscar, is a great, friendly character on and off the water, he is a fantastic teacher and his love for the water sports is infectious to everyone. He has competed internationally in the Techno Class and even won some of the National and International competitions.

Boris Shaw

Shop Rider and British Sailing Squad Member

Chris' second eldest son is currently competing and training internationally for the iQFoil competitions, whilst still studying for his degree in Maritime Engineering!

Boris competed in iQ Games in Miyakojima, Japan at the start of this year and came 5th overall and 3rd Under 23 - a great achievement for 2024 so far! Boris is an extremely talented windsurfer and prior to iQFoil, he was the number 2 in the world in the Techno U17 Class.

For 2024, he is a member of the British Sailing Squad for his iQFoil training, and he has a very busy year in between exams of international and national races! We have great hopes of Boris' racing success and he has his sights aimed towards the 2028 Olympics at the moment...

Max Beaman 

Shop Rider and British Sailing Squad Member

Max has been riding for Poole Harbour Watersports since iQFoil became the Olympic choice since 2020 and has shown great progression and achievements in the sport. He also was chosen to become a British Sailing Squad Member for this year onwards and will continue to train and compete in GB events.

Max continues to perform well in all national and international events, for the iQFoil Euros 2024 he came 26th and 10th in U23! We look forward to seeing his progress in 2025...

When not training for iQFoil, Max regularly goes wave-riding down on any swell in Cornwall! Keep track of all his events on his instagram: @maxbeaman262

 

 

 

Darcey Shaw

Shop Rider and British Sailing Squad Member

The only daughter in the Shaw family is also one of our shop riders and continues the Shaw legacy with fantastic racing and windsurfing capabilities.

Darcey is the current iQFoil World U19 Women's Champion! 

Whilst balancing studying her A Levels and training, Darcey has been super busy at international events over the extended holidays! We can't wait to see what 2025 will bring Darcey!

Darcey is also now a member of the British Sailing Squad so we look forward to her extra training and travels across next year!

 

 

 

Milo Shaw

Shop Rider

The youngest of the Shaw family, but the talent definitely didn't run out! At only 13, shop rider Milo is already making a name for himself in the world of competing.

This summer, Milo competed internationally at the World Techno in France in which he came 3rd in the 6.8 category! He is also the current champion nationally too.

His skill and passion doesn't just stop with the racing field, he also is a very keen wave rider and flies off the waves when it's windy! 

 

 

Milo has great drive and ambition when he's out on the water and we are sure he is going to have a successful future with lots of trophies nearly as big as him again...

 

Our team is always looking to grow and we love to support the upcoming generation with all their possible successes!
