It’s a long way from North Devon to Scarborough, especially if you’re crammed into the back of a van like an illegal immigrant. We were heading North for the next stop on the UK pro surf tour and the forecast said waves.
Heading North
It was an early 6am start and we passed the time watching the Quicky Pro on the iPhone, abusing each other or watching old series 1 episodes of “the fresh prince of Bel-Air”. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s that time of year again as the Goldcoast Oceanfest family meets in a field overlooking the beach for a weekend of sport, music, fun and friends. Looking through this years program has jogged memories of years gone by, and the expectation for the weekend ahead no matter what the weather decides to do. Looks like an epic line-up of music for all three days and not just the big-name headline acts, there’s going to be lots of local noise to.
You’ll see me and the team snapping away all weekend so don’t forget to say hi and “smile for the camera “. Photos from Goldcoast will be available to view post event (once we’ve got over the fuzziness) Hope to see you there……
Well It’s been a massive effort, shackled to the computer for what seems and eternity sorting and editing, but photos from Goldcoast Oceanfest are now up and available to view. We had a great team of snappers again this year, with a couple of new additions. Well done to all involved

Just had to grab a few shots of this guy the other night. Ray Macunella is frontman of “When Alcohol Matters” a top notch ska & rudeboy outfit who got the whole place stomping…sounded great and they had 4 saxophones!

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 »

After a week and a half locked in a darken room sifting through thousands of images its finally safe to let them loose on the world. With a team of 5 great photographers (and me) every event was covered. So select an album click slideshow>fullscreen and sit back and bask in the warmth of a classic mid-summer Goldcoast Oceanfest.

“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 »
