When I was born in 1984, windsurfing was just about at it’s peak and my dad, being a huge windsurfing fan and good windsurfer himself, named me after his idol, Robby Naish.
Since then, my family have helped me to pursue my love of windsurfing and become a professional sailor. Now I am lucky enough to travel to some of the best windsurfing locations in the world and compete at the very highest level in order to earn my living.
I have come close to realising my dream of winning a PWA world title, finishing 3rd in four different disciplines, three of them over consecutive years from 2003-2005. A couple of injuries held me back in 2006-2008 but in 2009 I was back at number 3 in the world and hope to win a wave world title very soon!
