The Aquaskipper

After skating across the UK and Australia Dave needed a new challenge, and it so happened that a newspaper article about a random contraption called an Aquaskipper caught his eye.

A couple of weeks later Dave was sinking rapidly on his first attempt, realising that the 'skipper' wasn't quite as easy as it looked. It was a soggy start to 'BounceFree'.

Perseverance paid off though, when Dave won a national competition to become 'The Face of Aquaskipper!' and was flown off to Malta to film a promo video.

In September 2007 Dave wiped 5 seconds off the not-very-well-contested British 100 metre record, knocking it down to a currently unbeaten 21.9 seconds.

He still gets on an Aquaskipper now and then, but only to make people laugh!
