The irrepressible Mr. Eric Davies
I was going to start this blog post with the line. “When I started surfing in the seventies” which you will be thankful to hear has been binned in favour of “Recent developments have got me thinking about the sport of surfing in the UK and Ireland”. That still doesn’t sit comfortably because I am […]
A place in the sun
May 18, 2019
Blue sky, pumping surf and no-one out, what more do you want? Stoked to get one of these in the latest issue of Carve Magazine, there’s some great work in the magazine that celebrates it’s 25th anniversary this year. Great article by Vaughnie in the last issue (#194) about surfing the Cribbar and by Sharpy […]
The last autumn swell
December 2, 2018
A weekend of pumping surf in North Devon was a nice way to say goodbye to the autumn of 2018. So stoked to get this one (below) published in Carve Magazine as a double page spread, the point at Main beach firing. (Issue 192 btw). XT-3 w/ 16-55mm & 100-400mm Just got back from […]

Winning and being the Best
May 14, 2012
It’s been a long time since the British Surfing Champion came from North Devon, since 1984 in fact when Richard Carter (Redwood surf shop, Croyde) held the crown. Last November Woolacombe resident, Stuart Campbell, brought the title back to Devon from a stormy Fistral Beach in Cornwall. To celebrate Stuey’s 21st birthday (today), his title […]
Portrait landscapes
November 18, 2011
or in this case, seascapes. The pulled back line-up photo has been an industry standard since the beginning of surf photography, usually taken with a short telephoto (100mm – 200mm) but more recently with a long tom (400mm – 800mm), this has allowed enterprising fotohogs to combine the pulled-back shot with some insanely hot surfing […]
Croyde Session
November 7, 2011
The new issue of Carve is out and I have been lucky enough to have a few shots published in the issue (thanks uncle Roge). Amazingly they are all from the same session, a nice three foot day at Croyde in September, which is quite unusual (for me). There are a myriad of reasons why […]

FINAL DAY and we were greeted by a maelstrom at Rest bay, but despite the very difficult conditions there was some excellent surfing, some drama and upsets and a fairytale win for Jayce Robinson, who finally made the breakthrough with a well deserved victory. Beth Mason kept her cool to do the job in the […]
