Puravida rider Tom Malin joins North Sails. Hailing from the South West but often seen travelling to Brazil and Maui to train, Tom is excited to be using the new North Hero to push his wave sailing to the next level. Here’s what he had to say about his new Norths…

Tom and his new North Hero

“I have been sponsored by Pura Vida Boardriders for 3 years, focusing entirely on waves. Through them I’ve now started riding for North Sails with their super manoeuvrable 4 batten wave sail, the Hero. They’re so much fun to use so I’ll 100% be using them for all my adventures and UK competitions of 2012. Thank you to North Sails for their fresh support and thanks to Pura Vida Boardriders and Quatro boards for their ongoing support.”
