Early life

She first began windsurfing in the south of France in 1992. She attended Cheney Upper School near Headington in Oxford (where her father had been teaching at Oxford Brookes University), gaining A levels in art, maths, and biology. She had windsurfed on Farmoor Reservoir to the west of Oxford. She went to Cardiff University to study architecture, and she stayed for a year before committing to windsurfing full time in 2005.[1]

Windsurfing

She won the bronze medal in the women's RS:X class at the 2008 Summer Olympics, the first ever women's windsurfing medal for the British Olympic team. She trains at the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy.

Shaw won silver at the 2013, 2015, and 2016 RS:X World Championships, and 5th at the 2014 ISAF Sailing World Championships.[2]
