Lucy started windsurfing in the summer of 2003 when she took time off after her studies to go travelling around Europe. Ostensibly the plan was for this to be a pure surf trip inspired by the classic movie "Endless Summer".
Reaching Portugal in June it happened that there was a bit of a flat spell for waves and coming across a sea inlet at a place called Foz de Arelho, with a bit of windsurfing kit and tuition thrown together, Lucy gave windsurfing a go and was soon hooked.
With 4 months spent in Tarifa, Spain, the basics were mastered and from then on in Lucy progressed quickly, assisted by plenty of enthusiasm, determination and trips abroad. A year after starting windsurfing Lucy competed in her first event, the UKWA Bigbury Wave Classic, scoring 4th place.
Since beginning to windsurf in 2003 Lucy's unrivalled enthusiasm has taken her all over the world from Tiree in the Hebrides to Margarita and South Africa. From gaining recognition on the national UKWA circuit, 2006 sees Lucy entering her first year on the PWA world tour.
