As a surf ambassador across UK/Europe, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka, Dean plays a pivotal role in shaping the development pathways for these sports. His 25 years of experience in surf, SUP, and lifesaving training encompass all ages and skill levels. Dean takes particular pride in his collaborations with Disability Sport Wales, various local community groups, schools, the National Trust, Pembrokeshire County Council, and international surfing bodies.
