It’s safe to say that Cliff loves being on the water, whether tutoring young people on a river SUP session, helping upskill technique for a kayaker or training paddlesport coaches. Cliff is also recognised as a leading expert helping people train for Channel crossings, river expeditions and water challenges all over the world.

… and that’s still not the end of Cliff’s skills! He’s also a qualified Yacht Master Ocean and Powerboat Instructor .

If Cliff has any free time he’ll be found out on his board surfing some waves on the South coast. On one occasion, he even paddled around the whole Isle of Wight, all 67 miles, in only 11 hours!
