“The Ben Haworth”
Congratulation to Ben Haworth, the nibble footed Longboard rider who rode to victory at Saunton Hotdoggers 4th League event at the weekend. The win secured him the league title as well. His “Hang 10′s” in the final were great and got everyone on the beach hooting, the the other competitors lagging far behind.

“Porthcothan”
I’ve sloped off across the border for a few days of family fun & sun at our favourite Cornish spot. Since the Bank holiday crowds have cleared out we’ve pretty much had the place to ourselves. Nice pulse of swell early in the week was pretty fun and with solid conditions predicted for the next couple of days it looks like its going to be interesting, just got to work out how many spots I can hit in 48hrs.

“2010 Devon Surf Team”
This is the happy crew I joined for a raiding party on the Spainish Maine. The Devon team arrived to chants of “Green Army” and left a trail of amused & bemused locals as we went. Didn’t have great waves, but we had fantastic team spirit that grew as the trip progressed. Big thanks to everyone who made the teams participation possible. One day you’ll hear all the stories…but for now, just the facts!! Read the rest of this entry »

Down in not so sunny Spain (though the clouds just staring to break) with the Devon Surf Team at the Atlantic water sports games 2010. Things are going well…. barr the odd missing phone, lack of swell and occasional monsoon, more like Devon than I’d imagined. We’ve done the marching and a cheering and following todays layday the competition begins tommorrow with 1st round of the mens open at 9. Good luck everyone…keep you posted.

Poppy claims victory
The North Devon interclubs was hosted by Woolacombe Boardriders over the weekend. With Saunton Hotdoggers running their rescheduled 60′s Style Masters it turned into an old-fashion Croyde v Woolacombe face-off….without the fisticuffs off old.

“Croyde, low tide and bring lifeguards!”.
A curious writer wanted to get involved with the rips, currents and conditions that cause so many problems for the RNLI, especially this time of year. I was happy to document his foray into the wet-zone with RNLI lifeguard Robbie Lamb. Read the rest of this entry »

Woolacombe
Thought I’d have a go a something a bit different today. Much as I’d love a proper Tilt & Shift lens, the price is a bit prohibative £1400+! There’s a number of other bits of kit higher up the priority list. Read the rest of this entry »

“I’m sure it’s this way”
A little selection from the point the other day. With the beach looking heavy and evil most elected to go for the point, although “local celebrity” Charley Charlesworth paddled out and round to the beach saying “I’m gonna catch a bomb” . Read the rest of this entry »

Early morning for once, dragged my sorry ass down to Croyde for dawn. Pretty sizey but not really doing it. The only thing that brigthened my day was the stray firework that is Scott. Check out his royal greenness……thought I’d bung this up before we hot foot it to Lyndaka. Anyone coming?
