About Fraser: From the moment I could walk my folks gave me a set of sea legs. I received my first proper sailing lesson at the tender age of 8, and since then have been involved in every aspect of sailing be it tall ships, sailing through the solent, to racing Lasers under the Forth bridges. From the age of 17 I got into coaching ay my local RYA centre, later heading off to Uni in Stirling. Being possibly the most land locked university in Scotland, sailing took a pause as my Kayaking career took off. Bringing me, for better or worse, into the company of Jamie and Guy!, and it was with them I discovered Land Yachting, possibly the most fun to be had on a beach...FACT!.

About Jamie:
Well for a start I’m not related to Guy we just met this morning! If I had a pound for “Are you two twins”! I have always been interested in sport and played tennis, badminton, rugby and hockey from a very young age but it was not until secondary school that I started being more xtreme!! I’m now pretty keen for anything classed as an xtreme sport but spend most of my time kayaking, surfing, landyachting, kite boarding and snowboarding in the winter!! Life is good...and I call this work!!
