Marvellous March

March 29, 2012

What can I say that already hasn’t been said over the social networks this past week. A week of offshores, warm weather and some pretty bloody decent surf too; not bad for Blighty in the summer months, but in March – unheard of – but not unwelcome. An unusual combination of a seeming trapped low […]

The AquaTech Sport Housing is constructed of durable light-weight polyurethane and designed ergonomically, making it feel similar to the camera it fits closely around. Its superior design gives the housing superb handling in all facets of water photography including sports, fashion, advertising, and many other activities both above and below the surface. Camera installation is […]

Wooly Winter Wonderland

February 13, 2012

Winter surfing defines us as a surfing nation. Everything is cranked up a notch; the waves have more power and that combined with the extra rubber of a winter wettie make the paddle-outs long and hard – but the rewards are, of course worth it in an even more obviously clichéd way than this opening […]

Readers poll and happy holidays

December 19, 2011

With Chrimbo just around the corner and this blog being nearly a year old I thought it would be appropriate not only to say thanks to everyone for reading my inane ramblings over the past year (and leaving your comments) but also to wish everyone a merry, peaceful holiday and best wishes for a surf […]

Six of the best

December 8, 2011

Just finished choosing 12 photos for a calender to send to my Mum for Christmas. It’s a bit of a chore to sort through through a years worth of photos but a useful exercise nonetheless; not only does it secure my next years supply of socks and cake, it also acts like a ‘taking stock’ […]

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 […]

Tribute to Russ

November 11, 2011

Congratulations to Russell Winter who won three titles yesterday in one epic day of surfing at a thumping Fistral Beach, which was a strength-sapping and grinding 4 – 8 feet and classic conditions for the season deciding final event on the UK Pro Surf Tour. Russ won the final Relentless Energy Drink Super Series contest […]

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 […]

Super Lynmouth Series

November 1, 2011

Reubyn Ash smashed his way to victory in the inaugural Relentless Lynmouth Super Series today with a mixture of old school grunt and new school cool. He combo’d Russell who sat on a 9.17 and a 8.60 in the final at Blacklands, which was perfect 3-4 foot, running and glassy, with a double alley-oop 9.77 […]

Atlantic Highway

October 17, 2011

I must have done the 2 hour trip to Newquay from North Devon along the A39 hundreds of times over the past 20 years. I’m always in a hurry and concentrating on overtaking a tractor, caravan or milk tanker but I have also seen some beautiful landscapes, sunrises and sights (especially in the misty season […]
