Ben ProffitT (Wave)

Ben is probably one of the best known British wave sailors for his cheeky wit and big smile, which often masks his competitive side. Part of the Simmer international team, Ben has been a top performer in the waves in 2014. With results this year including 5th place in the PWA wave indoor event (highest ranked britt), 1st in Slalom at the same event (proving he is not a one trick pony) top 15 overall PWA and 2nd in the BWA overall (a 3 times previous winner).

But Ben’s biggest contribution in 2014 has been without a doubt his massive promotion of wave sailing in general, not just here in the UK by attending events and competitions the length and breadth of the country. But internationally too, with his hilarious “Bens training diaries” and his informative live commentary on the PWA. This Is what makes Ben, the wave teams choice for Windsurfer of the year.
