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.

The evenings are getting darker and darker, literally and not as a consequence of all the ridiculous moustaches starting to sprout everywhere!

  The internet community was wild with eager expectations, tomorrow was already being dubbed as Big Wednesday and it was was going to be epic.

  Plenty of swell around this weekend and pumping waves in north west Ireland by the looks of things. Lots of swell here in north Devon too and lots of miles clocked up by surfers and photographers alike; checking, searching and dodging the rain showers. With bad light and contrary tides I was thinking that […]
