Shaw is Britain's number one female windsurfer and second in the RS:X world rankings. She has recently won silver in the 2010 World Cup Series and is a proven medal winner over the last four years at the Weymouth World Cup event.
“This is the perfect vehicle for my lifestyle and an extremely valuable tool in my bid for gold in 2012. The Transporter is great to drive, really comfortable over the long distances I have to travel, and has plenty of space to carry all my equipment – plus it looks cool," said Shaw.
The Volskwagen Transporter became the most popular and iconic van used by surfers and windsurfers over the last 60 years. The one that Shaw will use has been customized with a roof spoiler, alloy wheels, tinted glass and colorful, surf-themed graphics.
Her van is also fitted with a towbar, including a rib, and as it is a Kombi, it also has the added versatility of a second row of seats which fold forward to create a longer load length when needed.
“We are delighted to be able to support Bryony as she strives to achieve her target of gold in 2012. Bryony is a great ambassador because she’s so passionate about our brand, and just like many of our customers, uses the van to carry the tools of her trade,” stated David George, Head of Marketing for Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles.
