Harvey Dawkins - Managing Director

Qualifications

Windsurfing level 5 instructor
BA Hons Tourism and leisure

Bit about me...
Windsurfing is my thing,in particular, wave riding. Knees getting a bit old for too much jumping so my passion is for some down the line wave ride.

I now live in West Cornwall, trying to combine running the admin and planning side of the Lagoon with sneaking off for a sail or a surf. When not staring at a computer screen or sailing I can be found Thai boxing.

Bit About Me

I have been with Lagoon Watersports since 1993. I am now living in the centre of Barcelona, establishing windsurfing and yachting in Spain with Lagoon Espana. When I am not fighting the Spanish bureaucracy and Catalan lingo, I can be found by the pool or beach soaking up the sun surrounded by topless women!

I cut my teeth windsurfing at Hove Lagoon age 8 with a group of friends, once I caught the watersports bug I have made it my life, I settled with windsurfing and skiff sailing as my sports of choice but also enjoy anything else on or in the water. I am also a keen snowboarder and as I write this, have just come back from an awesome trip to the Italian Alps. 

After having worked in watersports for over four years I am very happy to get back to my roots, especially as they are at a centre such as Lagoon Watersports!
