I have been involved in SAS for about 15 years now. From the time when I used to windsurf in Aberdeen and couldn’t work out why I often felt so ill after a sail…then later found out I was in an area where raw sewage was being pumped out, I have always wanted to help clean up the seas and remove the health threat to recreational water users. I now live in Edinburgh and spend as much time as I possibly can surfing and at the beach.
