Rocket Dog is pleased to announce British professional female Kite-boarder and model Sophie Mathews as a new member of its team.

Having windsurfed and surfed for many years Sophie started kiting in February 2007. "I was teaching windsurfing in Venezuela when I was given a kite course as a Christmas present. That was it, from that moment on I went for it!" The following winter and after little time on the water over the summer Sophie left her windsurfing kit at home and headed to Brazil to give it her all. Out there she got sponsorship and the next stop was the KPWT world tour.Since then Sophie has been a regular fixture at international standard events throughout the world - firstly competing at Junior level, then the Women's events.

Sophie's first competition was in St. Gilles Croix De Vie in France. "I came 4th in Freestyle. I was stoked, as I never expected this result! It motivated me to continue on the tour where I ended up 7th overall at the end of the year, even after missing the competition in Greece due to a modelling assignment, then the last stop due to an ankle injury obtained in Brazil - hazards of being both a model and an action sports athlete."

Currently with Nobile Kiteboarding Team, Sophie works hard to promote the sport and her sponsors, both on and off the water. Well aware of the benefits of a healthy lifestyle, Sophie is also a qualified Personal Trainer, Sports Masseure and Nutritionist.

Rocket Dog said, "Sophie is the embodiment of healthy living. We're very proud to have another positive role model joining our team."

Sophie Mathews said "I am stoked to be a brand ambassador for Rocket Dog. It is a fantastic opportunity and a huge complement to be part of such a fresh and innovative company always on top of the latest fashion and trends but with unique style. I am excited to see what the up and coming year has in store."

The Rocket Dog brand was brought to life in 1997, originating in southern California. The brand encapsulated the laid back ethos of Californian lifestyle, taking influences from street and surf styles and became the brand that young girls wanted to be seen in. Rocket Dog has since then grown into a globally recognised footwear brand and the range now covers sandals, pumps, sneakers, heels and boots.

The Rocket Dog consumer is an individually inspired female, who loves to find her own style and will happily mix high street purchases with vintage and second hand finds to create an independent look. Rocket Dog is a brand popular to an array of consumers around the world, each with their own styles, tastes and interests, from fashion through to music.
