Leading marine footwear and clothing brand Chatham has agreed a sponsorship deal with Britain’s first windsurfing youth world champion and Olympic hopeful, 19 year old Izzy Hamilton.

Impressed with the combination of comfort and style in Chatham’s products and how practical the footwear and clothing is, Izzy has chosen Chatham as her clothing and footwear partner, to wear when training onshore and when out and about.

Izzy says, “I love Chatham’s style. I especially love the bright colours, how on-trend the clothing and footwear is, and the shoes are so comfortable. The deck shoes are really cool and they are very practical around the boat park, what with all the sand and the salt! I am thrilled to be associated with Chatham and everything it stands for in quality designs, materials and craftsmanship. It is a company with ambition, who like me is striving for gold!”

Chatham’s Managing Director, Philip Marsh adds, “We are delighted to sponsor such a fantastic Olympic hopeful and everyone here is rooting for Izzy. We are proud to have such a successful young champion representing our brand.”
