Alongside his racing career, Joey works as a Strength and Conditioning Coach at Swansea University, applying professional expertise to his own athletic development. Training predominantly on the waters around Swansea, he has built a reputation for resilience, consistency and a relentless work ethic.
Joey competes across all major SUP racing disciplines, including Distance, Technical and Sprint racing. While he enjoys success in every category, Distance racing is regarded as his speciality, where his endurance, race strategy and ocean skills have produced some of his strongest performances.
The 2026 season marked another significant step in his career. Joey joined Team Blackfish, one of the sport's leading equipment brands, following the ICF World Cup in Torquay. Guided by internationally renowned coach Espe Barreras, he also qualified to represent Team GB at the ICF World Championships in Italy.
In addition, Joey successfully defended his ExBay Offshore Distance Race title and currently leads the GBSUP Male Hardboard 14' Open (18+) standings. With the National Series now beyond its halfway stage, he is also a strong contender for the Overall Male National Series Championship.
With international representation for both Wales and Great Britain, a growing list of podium finishes, and continued success across distance, technical and sprint racing, Joey has established himself as one of the most exciting athletes in British SUP racing.
