Tom Squires from the British Sailing Team is in Melbourne for the Sailing World Cup Final sailing on the RS:X jumped out of a plane as part of the event earlier this week. He took the opportunity to do his first 'dab' and managed to hurt his shoulder.

To recognise his efforts, and with thanks to Line 7 Marine, we ran a competition for competitors at Sailing World Cup - Melbourne to send in their best 'dabs'.

Here is my chat with Tom, his first Dab, and a few from our amazing competitors here in Melbourne who will all be receiving prizes later today!
