All the toys

I've been wanting to put this on my here since i watched it, but had only looked for it on youtube, just saw it on mickeys blog and hopefully not annoying to him, grabbed it from the same place.
This is Heydon Bunting ripping, being inspiring and speaking volumes in only a few words, a classic part from Nathan Oldfields movie Seaworthy

heading south

1000 miles and 20 hours of blurs, Devon to Port du soliel...not much fun but well worth the drive

Shaun Smyth

A friend asked for some shots i'd taken of him a while back, these are a coupla of them. Taken in Cornwall incase like me you'd forgot what sunny warm waves look like...

Moor snow

Not quite the Alps, B.C. or Alaska but still a lot of fun...Shaun Sinden and Olly Medland making the most of what Dartmoor has on offer

Loggin'

Hopefully SUP'ing was just a fad, could this be the new craze that's hitting the shores for 2010. Screw balancing around on a big log, better trying to balance one on you...less chance of falling in the sea, ya not gunna annoy other surfers and perhaps doesn't look as stupid...

Pitpilot #33

First issue of the year and first issue for new editor Tony Plant , almost flicked past a wave i shot which was hiding out in there in disguise

chasing magic stars

These shots are from a three day swell that ran till new years day 2010. Lots of driving round the South Hams looking and hoping the many variables we need were coming together somewhere...(shots of me on a boog by Andy Blanchard)

hard and Harder

Beaches have always had there intimidating locals...Back in the day Malibu had the late great Miki Dora, Hawaii's North Shore is watched over fiercely by guys like Kai Borg, Kala Alexander and the rest of the Wolf Pak, Southern California had Anthony Kiedis in Point Break (ok sorry bad example), Sydney's Southern suburbs have Koby, his brothers and friends making up the The Bra Boyz...
On the south coast of Devon i wasn't aware we had anyone, that was until after leaving the sea i saw these...

Bossinknee

At the beach, where the wild things are...

...you have'nt already go watch

Great gig

After many very dark, very icey lanes, deep in south devon we stumbled across the folksy melodies of Ben Howard. He was putting on an great little gig for friends and family at his very talented cellists home. Accompanying him were the equally great trio of Park Bench Poet...great music, great atmosphere
*sorry about all the greats think i need a thesaurus

on occasions

Its gets easy to stop checking a spot, habits and memories fade, then all of a sudden 'WHAM' one cold pre work surf and its back in your head. You hunt the charts looking for the right tide/wind/swell combo, daydream about it at work envisioning yourself upping the ante, end up checking it on days that you realistically know it wont break on, and sticking it on top of your christmas wish list...

After four months and some of the best skaters on the planet, its wittled down to - not suprisingly Chris Cole and Paul Rodriguez. Bangin
