I remember, Septembers in love

September 15, 2021

It’s been a long old shit wave/ flat spell wait but finally, hurricane Larry delivered the goods; a classic and much fabled September swell. What’s not to love; light winds, sunshine, easy surf and every man and his dog straining at the bit, wound up by Medina and Carissa’s ‘World ChampionsHip” display the day before.. […]

The irrepressible Mr. Eric Davies

April 15, 2021

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 […]

One photo every day in Oktober; scroll down for latest image.  Click to engorge. I haven’t taken many photos lately.

Just a few pictures of the hottest week of the year so far, including the ones the BBC wanted to use “for a credit”; no bitching about the – lack of surf, the state of (surf) photography, the sticky nights(!), the overcrowding, the abysmal driving skills of the visitors, the litter, the dog poo or […]

Happy New Year Slabhunters..

January 1, 2014

..lets hope it’s a peaceful one with plenty of swell. Here in North Devon the weather did nothing to help relieve the festive hangover, it was damp and windy and the fields are knee deep in mid-winter mud, not suitable for a gentle perambulation, but with a mahoosive swell running; it was ideal for slab […]

Not June

After a helluva summer and hiatus from this blog, I’m back on a rainy, flat Sunday afternoon. First off, here’s some of the pix that didnt make it into the June project  files. Trying to take a decent photo everyday was such uplifting and fun thing to do, it’s not half as stressful as you […]
