Testing my GoPro

I bought a GoPro whilst i was in the USA back in January.
They are only £100 over there so i just had to get one.
Today was the 1st time ive used it so i took it for a spin on my bike
to work out how it works etc. Check out the youtube of it.
My friend who works for a boat building company has made me an attachment for my
Bodyboard so i am now looking forward to getting it in the sea.

Cornwall has been pumping.

I shot this about a week ago. The surf in Cornwall has been pumping for what seems like forever.

Morocco

I have just got home from a surf trip to Morocco. I was invited by Rob Barber editor of Threesixty bodyboard magazine. Morocco was never a place i had thought about going but being invited on this trip was to good to turn down plus its another stamp in my passport. The magazines mission was to search for new waves, collect images to be stock piled for the next 4 issues of the magazine, Video to be used for rider profiles and video tutorials as well as the main trip podcast. All the riders on the trip were super cool to surf and hang out with. We found a sick new wedge and also found the top secret slab THE GRASSY KNOLL. As far as i know we all did alright for images but i guess we will all have to wait and see.

Pearl of Saltash

The Pearl of Saltash was my dads old boat. My dad sold it when he got ill and since he passed away back in 2004 the owner of the boat has just let it rot. The Pearl was my dads pride and joy. Makes me a tiny bit angry to see it like this today. The thing i like most about this shot is the cross on top of the cabin.

2010 Auto Sleepers British Nationals Porthtowan Cornwall

I spent this weekend down in Porthtowan Cornwall. I was competing in the 2010 Auto Sleepers British Bodyboard Nationals. The surf was offshore and pumping on the Saturday but the wind went onshore for Sunday. I was unlucky and got knocked out in the quarter final. I just couldn't find a good 2nd wave to back my 1st wave score up so bailed out of the contest. This contest was the last event of the 2010 British tour. At the start of the tour i set myself a goal of finishing it in the top 5 and i pulled it off with a 4th place so i am more than happy. This weekends contest will go down as one of the best events ever due to the waves and the high standard of riding. A huge congratulations goes to the event winner and tour winner JACK JOHNS. Njoy!





The event finalists.




Me in my quarter final on one of the smaller waves on Saturday.

The place was like a half pipe.

I bailed on work yesterday for some south coast action.
I jumped off the rocks at Porthleven at 7am and i was in the water for a good 3 hours.
I had good waves but it felt like the swell was fading with the dropping tide.
When i got out my friend said he was still keen for a few more waves so we headed to a near by semi secret spot that we both love to surf and oh my god am i glad we did the place was like a half pipe. Here is a frame grab of me that Andrew Course sent me. Very happy with yesterdays surf.

Threesixty Bodyboard Magazine

I had a call from Rob Barber editor of Threesixty Bodyboard Magazine on Tuesday afternoon. He said they were having a huge office clean up and that he had a few magazines i might be interested in. I called in to the office just before the wedge contest on Wednesday to pick them up. I already had a lot of the issues he gave me but i was really interested on getting my hands and eyes on the real early issues. He also gave me loads of Riptides, Vert, Bodyboarding, Bodyboarder. Today i spent the morning sorting through what issues i had and what i didn't. I am now only missing issues 4, 6, 7 and 80 of Threesixty and i will have every single one. I know some people may think this is VERY SAD but i don't. I have a lot of doubles now so if you are a collector like me and have the issues i am after lets do business.

Swell Has Arrived

The swell arrived late last night and i can not tell you how happy i was to see perfect right hand wedges from the check point above Mawgan Porth this morning.
I could not wait to get in to my rubber and get out there. It has been way to long since Cornwall has had some decent swell.



Another bodyboarder was swimming around the line up with a water proof compact. Here is a shot i stole from his facebook. Nothing amazing just a little skid for him and his compact.

So i went for a ride

I got out of bed early this morning thinking may be the new swell might have hit our coastline early but i was wrong. I logged on to www.magicseaweed.com and checked the Fistral camera and it was flat so i decided to go for a ride. I went to Plym Valley its a great ride from Coypool to Clearbrook and back and is around 15 miles in total. I snapped a few shots and a couple of videos on my compact for this blog nothing special but check them out.
