Bit about me...
Windsurfing is my thing,in particular, wave riding. Knees getting a bit old for too much jumping so my passion is for some down the line wave ride.
I now live in West Cornwall, trying to combine running the admin and planning side of the Lagoon with sneaking off for a sail or a surf. When not staring at a computer screen or sailing I can be found Thai boxing.

Helan Trehane - Duty Manager
Some of you might find my face familiar and that would be because I worked at the Lagoon in summer 2007. Since then I have been managing a windsurf centre in Egypt, enjoying amazing windsurfing conditions, as well as experiencing live in an Arab country!
I have returned to the Lagoon because it’s a fun place to work, everyone is friendly, I like living Brighton and I heard it’s going to be a hot summer!
My qualifications are Windsurf Planing Instructor and Sailing Senior Instructor and I’m always happy to answer any questions you have.
In my free time I love running or walking beside the sea, eating coffee and cake in cafes, and of course windsurfing. Despite working in a freestyle paradise I’m just no good at it, instead I’m into jumping and learning to wave ride.

I cut my teeth windsurfing at Hove Lagoon age 8 with a group of friends, once I caught the watersports bug I have made it my life, I settled with windsurfing and skiff sailing as my sports of choice but also enjoy anything else on or in the water. I am also a keen snowboarder and as I write this, have just come back from an awesome trip to the Italian Alps.
After having worked in watersports for over four years I am very happy to get back to my roots, especially as they are at a centre such as Lagoon Watersports!
