Since taking up competitive windsurfing in late 2022, Milo has rapidly risen through the ranks, earning a spot on the regional team and quickly progressing to the National team in the highly technical “Techno 293” race category – a specialized board, designed for speed and precision.

Competing in national events, particularly along the south coast, Milo has consistently placed between first and second, showcasing impressive improvement with every race. This remarkable performance led to selection for the British team to compete at the World Championships for under-15 boys in Lake Balaton. There, Milo achieved an impressive 30th place overall, finishing as the second-highest-ranked British competitor.

Building on this success, Milo competed at the European Championships in Athens, where he finished 18th overall and proudly claimed the title of the highest-ranked British athlete in their category.

Milo has been selected to compete in the 2025 European Championships in Rome and the World Championships in Wales, this time in the under-17 category.

We wish Milo every success as he continues to excel in this exciting sport.
