About Me
Max Shand Lived in Cornwall since the age of 10.
Took up Canoeing, This allowed me to see the water and the coastline in Cornwall. I Passed my BCU 3 Star.
​
​
After leaving school and running my Own Computer business http://www.computerstothemax.co.uk
and a Mobile Video Library covering central Cornwall
​
Body boarding - Longboard any time I got the chance I would be popping over to Newquay as the surf there is awsome and its just 15 minutes north of where I live.
I purchased a speedboat.
​
The problem with speedboats is they are hole in the water in which to throw money into. I visited a Local boat yard ES Marine where I started working there and they taught me the ins and out of boat repair - inboard, outboard, Jet ski and Ribs
​
Rapid 50HP speedboat - Great 1st boat, submerged it once as bung was not in.
​
Fletcher 65 HP - Awesome boat and did so well, never let me down.
​
Inboard Fletcher 3Ltr Boat: We (friend Darren) purchased a inboard 3.0 Ltr mercruser Fletcher boat which was in bits - rebuilt it from scratch and used it for many years with different boats to add to the belt.
​
Wake board - Knee board - Trick- Ski`s - Mono Ski - Water Skiing - Super screamer - O`Brien ring
​
Scuba Diving: This became my Next passion and PADI qualified to RESCUE DIVER - travelling as far a field as Key Largo - Florida and Mexico Puerto Vallarta on some interesting dives meeting sharks and Fire coral.
Longboard
Two wonderful kids come along - Abbie and Torin so pretty much all the Toys went and concentrated on bringing up a family and visits to the beach, Zoo`s etc. But always Snowboarding - owning Ride timeless board for over 10 Years
​
Longboard from Skindog surfboards - great fun but a trip to Newquay 15 mins and in the water surf conditions permitting.
​
Kayak: Back onto the water - I was looking at getting a Push bike or a Kayak, settled on a Ocean Malbu 2.5 Seat Ocean Kayak. Great fun and bit annoying to take down the beach as quite heavy, but on the roof and a trolley that came with it we were at silver mine beach(can only get there by boat) and caves, coast was back on the calendar.
​
What next? Paddleboard similar to kayak will it hold my interest? never kite-surfed as i feel it is little too risky without good training and wind surfing never appealed - most likely from the only fools and horses episode :-)
​
Few internet searched and I found a JET BOARD...... I remember ES MARINE had one in the rafters never used. Old school board with a long board and engine compartment - my interest was triggered.
