Now including Sean's Official Tour Diary to find all the travel, party and adventure stories from a life of travelling: ********************************************** www.CarbonSugar.com Sean's Windsurfing 'Tutorials' Learning-Project: This is a side-project of Sean's; a weblog devoted to articles on design, technique, construction, tactics and tuning all related to high-performance windsurfing. Learn everything from the basic's up to the secrets of the pro-sailors:

I am a Professional Windsurfer, and just recently quit my job as an Engineer working at a major Multinational Company providing Equipment/Service for the Oil and Mining Industries, to sail fulltime. I'm the owner of my own Graphic/Multimedia Design Company as well as my own Elite Sports Team (www.teamaus.com.au) and heavily involved in Sporting Event Organisation and Marketing. I've been a member of the Australian Olympic Team for Sailing and am currently an Australian Sailing Team Development Squad member.

I have a Psychology degree from the University of Queensland and also studied web & graphic design, multimedia communications and marketing at Queensland University of Technology. I travel on a regular basis, spending half of each year based in Europe (Rotterdam, Netherlands) and travelling throughout Europe, UK, Africa and Asia for windsurfing. When I'm home in Australia you could find me anywhere from Sydney to Melbourne, Perth to Tasmania ...

I have a large support base of sponsors, helping me to achieve the best out of my sport - Rubelli Furniture, Slam Wetsuits, Blackberry, Accelerade, Descente Clothing, Neil-Pryde, Starboard, Goodtime Surf & Sail. With their support, and the help of my coaches, I am campaigning to be selected to Represent Australia at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games for Windsurfing.

Somebody asked me the other day what I was going to do when I finished windsurfing? "I mean, really? You can't live off windsurfing forever can you?". Well I believe I can. But windsurfing is just the start. My motto for 2007 is "side-projects" as I'm usually doing another 3-4 projects on top of everything else I do; things that you could turn into careers or just ways to pay the bills. My latest ones include building my own elite sports team; creating a windsurfing television show, touring the coast of a country; using my sponsors as a base to get into the media ... I really believe anything is possible if you're willing to sacrifice sleep and everything else to get what you want ...

NEW PROJECTS FOR 2008

Project 1:

I can't give away too much of this one but there will be something in the mix involving another international windsurfer, touring the coast (of an undisclosed country) windsurfing and partying the entire way and all of this being documented on a new 'extreme' travel website (also being promoted from an undisclosed UK based sporting website). It will be real fun. Watch this space!! (Anyone interested in promotional opportunities to do with this project contact me directly at seanobrien@aus120.com.

Project 2:

I am starting an Australian based Professional Sports Team, for a select group of elite professional athletes. It will be a small team of 3-4 athletes (myself included) who are competing in a variety of sports. (so far... windsurfing, rowing, gymnastics). The team will be showcased on a website which will also be a web-based hub for sponsor and media opportunities for these athletes as well as a fan base and news portfolio. This one has already taken shape. We're called TEAM-AUS and you can find all the details on our Official Team Website: www.team-aus.com.au.
