please stop

Extensive research has revealed, it's a really fricken good board!

It's probably a bit of a hackneyed surf image but i guess the vw camper shot is a timeless image for a reason.

After a pretty good spring, summer has been a real let down so far with no sign of warm water or fun summer swells. The boots are still on and the water has been cold. People have even been surfing spots that usually only work in deep mid winter. I'm rarely lucky enough to have the time to travel that far and i am definately suffering from a distinct lack of surf stoke. Last week helped but i'm not paddl;e fit and feeling rusty.

Hopefully the current offshores will groom a little logging wave for us aver the next few days.......

slippery when wet...........

On the more high performance end of the simmons spectrum, sacrificing a little bit of junk abilty for blistering speed and smile inducing swoops

One of the nicest people you could hope to meet and always a pleasure to share a session with

Tickets for the second ever Somersault festival at Castle Hill in North Devon are well and truly out. It's a cracking line up this year and should be a whole heap of fun if last year is anything to go by. It really feels like they have built on last years success and this year they have, amongst others, Laura Marling, Passenger, Bombay Bicycle lub and Crystal Fighters as well as legends Jimmy Cliff and Norman Jay.

It should be good!

In the meantime, feast your eyars on Laura Marling's first album. It's a really beautiful record. Top pop fact is that her band at this time contained some of Mumford and Sons before they "made it"

Longing for summer when all you need is a thin wetsuit and a board and a little bit of time....
