MERRY CHRISTMAS

MOROCCO (again)

DEAR SANTA

PLEEEEEEASE?

MOROCCO

A short version made purely to keep the groms off my back. Im still wading through hours of video to make the full version. Better get back to it!

where art thou sunshine?

Some film I had forgotten about. Reminders of summer and that strange object we seem to have of lost known as the SUN!!

A WORD WITH JP

A fantastic spread and well deserved for James Parry whose last 12 months have been exceptional. I was stoked to get this hang ten pic in the mag and in India Whiley's angle from the beach, I'm the shadow lurking in front. Pick up the length this week and read 'a word with James Parry'

LION SONG

A video I worked on with Morgan lowndes. Sam you'll know for his enigmatic surf lessons but also not a slouch on the guitar and pipes. He recently supported Ben Harper in Brazil and we are all so proud .

I try and avoid shooting into the sun. Avoiding the faded contrast and lack of sharpness. However i quite liked a few of Rob from slide 65 surfboards last weekend. Mini waves and only about 20 minutes of sun before a trapse around Truro for christmas you know what. This mans got the Dora fade down!

Master Travis a few weeks ago when the sun existed!

Opened my inbox this morning to this. Put my joggers on and sat with a coffee quite happy to be inside. These boys are mental!

FAV, CON, CAM

Favio destroying another left-hander. Connor searching for a Facebook profile pic and a very handsome Camel.  Oh Morocco we love you.

Jackson "wacko Jacko" Higgs enjoying every minute of our weeks stay in Morocco. Jacko's spent so much time in Morocco he's practically Moroccan.
Jackson was integral in the trip and it was great to see him getting some waves even with the pressures of taking 11 groms along for the ride.

COAST AWARDS 2012

Best water-sports provider

Sennen Surfing Centre, Sennen Cove, Cornwall Run by likeable, helpful Dave Muir on an impossibly beautiful beach, this surf school eschews ‘cool’ in favour of getting people up and riding (www.sennensurfingcentre.com).
We have been shortlisted for The coast awards 2012 as Best British Watersports Provider.

This is huge for us as although we work tirelessly to promote safe fun surfing we are rarely recognised for our efforts. 

We would love to ask you to vote, share and support our nomination.

SHEP

Along for the ride came trusty 'Senior' instructor Dave Shephard. A joy to have a long especially as the groms had someone to abuse for the week.
Dave surfed hard and was the first to slot himself into a little Moroccan Barrel.
He's already booking time off for the SSC elite trip 2012.

KaPow!

End of Summer

Some recently developed film reminded me of some late summer fun. I spent the last few weeks hanging with Buster and his camera. A recent purchase of warm clothing and my fire very much a glow leaves these as very distant memories. In the mean time ill enjoy the reminder of late summer and the heat of my very cozy fire.

Frame grabs

The edit has started and Im overwhelmed by the amount of footage we gathered during our week in Morocco. Here's a few frame grabs to tease the groms.

Head Slider

A few weeks ago now I managed a morning session at Perran with the slide massive!
At the time i got a few good ones and then had to fly off to Morocco with the surf school.
Since my return Ive been blessed with praise for images of Mikey, Pazza, Caf and Josh. Im stoked even though I wasn't overly stoked with the images.
Whats incredible is that these four logsman are all riding on fine crafts built by Mr. Rob Wright of Slide 65. 
Im sure Rob is made up to have his team of talent as I am to be lucky enough to be supported by such a fine group of lads.

Thanks for all the support Rob.
 Keep up the good work rob and I'm sure the boys will reciprocate.

I turned on my computer this morning to be shocked by this image taken by Oscar Adrian of a bush fire in the Margaret River region of Western Australia. I have friends in this part of Australia and having visiting this incredible part of the world I hate to think how it has been affected.
My thoughts go out to those you have lost everything.

Kettles On

Too much time spent on my desktop recently. This is one way to keep me going.

MAROC (Part Deux)

MAROC

Too many to choose from. In fact another 120 in the best of Maroc file.
Heres a taster for the time being.
