Luke Dillon, currently doing GB and Cornwall proud on the QS, has picked up sponsorships from Ginsters, Cornish pasty maker since 1969…
Ginsters is supporting Dillon, 24, as he continues his mission to become one of the top ten surfers in the world. Luke said:
‘I’m a proud Cornish boy, through-and-through. During my stints at home between competitions, I still get a buzz out of surfing at North Fistral, especially when you’re out with locals in the water, having fun and remembering what it’s all about.
‘That’s why Ginsters is such an outstanding company to stand alongside; they’re a Cornish business that has been in Cornwall since the beginning and always champions everything our county has to offer. It feels like a natural, down-to-earth connection and I’m excited to see where this year takes us. I reckon they’ll grant me access to an unlimited supply of pasties too!
‘Sponsorship plays an increasingly important role in surfing as a global sport. Without funding, competing on the world’s stage would be a much greater challenge. It’s amazing that Ginsters makes it possible.’
Kieran Hemsworth, Managing Director at Ginsters, said: ‘This year, we’re marking our 50th anniversary in Callington; that’s half a century of being established in the heart of Cornwall and witnessing the extraordinary talent our county has to offer the rest of the world.
‘Luke represents everything we, at Ginsters, are passionate about too; dedication, honing your craft, striving to achieve the best… and always celebrating your roots. We couldn’t be prouder to be his official sponsor for 2019 and be a part of Luke’s journey to becoming GB’s highest-ranking male. We can absolutely line-up all the pasties he can eat!’
