Hi all, I am James Van Drunen and you may have read about me here and there on the website! I am a Stand-Up Paddle Board (SUP) athlete, whose ultimate goal is to become one of the best in the field of paddle boarding. It hasn’t always been like this, and my determination and drive for success is fuelled by my weight loss journey. After stepping my first paddle board in 2013 I weighed just over 105 kilograms provoked by a sedentary and unhealthy lifestyle. I knew things had to change, and over the years, I pushed on to currently being in the top 3 best paddle boarders in Spain, and in the top 50 in the world! And... well, this is why I am here, to share with you my story and push my passion for water sports onto adventurers like yourself!
