"The support by Epic and Vaikobi has meant I’ve been able to take my training to a new level all year round. With high quality winter and summer clothing, skis and kayaks to suit all conditions now means I never miss a session, whether it’s -5 degrees or 20 degrees, I’m able to get on the water and deliver a quality session."
