After 10 years in the London design industry, Russell decided to take a career break and trade “the  material comforts of mainstream life for the opportunity to acquire skills that would stay with him for life”. He joined Flying Fish to do a windsurf traineeship in Vassiliki and then went on to work as an instructor in Greece and Spain before returning to Flying Fish to work as an instructor trainer.

Russell is now Operations Director for Flying Fish Sailing based in Sydney, where he spends his time managing our Yachtmaster, Sailing and Watersports programs and training instructors. With the arrival of the Australian Winter, Russell generally heads back to Europe to join the Fish team in Greece.

 

Off the water, Russell can often be found in the surf over at Freshwater, or out on the town salsa dancing. He also enjoys yoga.
