Catch a Wave UK company directors; Anne Harrington (founder and Managing

Director) and Kit Sugden (Marketing Director), and other supporters of the business

will be present 7 and indeed going for a surf themselves!

Anne says: “A huge challenge for me when I initially began surfing, was feeling 'Too

old, too unfit, too busy, not cool enough' to surf. I feel there are a lot of people, who

also experience this and although they would LOVE to give watersports a go, may

feel they have to go through so many hurdles before they even get in a wetsuit!

Our aim is to encourage people to use both watersports and complementary

therapies to improve their health and wellbeing, in particular those who would not

normally have access to these areas. We want to give others the chance to

experience catching a wave too, and to discover a whole range of watersports and

complementary therapies in a relaxed, fun and professional environment.“

Catch a Wave UK � Carving a way forward for health and wellbeing!
