He found that he enjoyed SUP so much he linked up with the CIO Svein Rasmussen in Thailand on a holiday and the next thing he knew he was working in marketing in the HQ. Since then he has taken control of the production side of Starboard SUP and gets to work with so many toys on a day to day basis! We also run through the whole Starboard SUP range from Inflatables to Hard boards to give you guys an idea of what works best in what conditions. Thanks Ollie for your time!
