Emma Wilson (Racing)

Course racing is tough. It’s not enough to be talented in high winds, or talented in low winds, a course racing champion must be a master of all conditions getting the best out of their RSX boards and sails, a true athlete shows immense determination and strength of character, oh and yes you may just need to do this at a very young age. One of the most difficult things to achieve in any sport is to follow in the footsteps of a famous parent.

For Emma Wilson she must follow where her mother Penny Way a former Olympian once walked. Well lets be clear, Emma has stood tall and at just 15 years of age could do no more than bring home titles in two age groups at the RS:X Youth World Championships. It was not enough to be crowned under 17 Champion, Emma also took the under 19 title proving she is years ahead of the game and proudly standing on top of the podium.
