"Mention the name ‘Whitey' to just about any windsurfer in the world and a crystal clear image will pop into their heads of a very big bloke using a very big sail going about twice as fast as anyone else on the water, usually with one or both hands off the boom, before launching into a routine of ballerina like spins and twirls," says Result.

Having signed the sponsorship deal, White, who is fifth in the overall windsurfing rankings, cites Result's Soft Shell jacket as his jacket of choice.

He said: "Result's commitment and forward thinking runs parallel to my own personal striving for being the best in my career as a top sports performer. Result's unique Soft Shell three-layer high stretch fabric delivers both warmth and comfort when out organising events or when around the water preparing to sail.''

White will be taking a pop at the overall world record but his main aim is to promote free ride windsurfing to the masses.
