James Parry Jan 2012.

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.

Parry Overload.

It seems everywhere I look James Parry is there.
Pondering my have selections of daily blogs this morning and my screen fills with an Image of James in Salinas by jj wessell on the quality peoples blog.

If the sun had been shining this morning I might even have had more pics of JP. Not the case.

One shot wandering

With 8fps at my disposal, my kookish skills left me wanting with only 'one shot' displayed through the housing window. I never tire of watching JP make shapes.

Branded

James and Caf recently hooked up with new sponsors. James bagged major Japanese wetsuit brand RASH, who produce some of the world finest wetsuits, while Caf is styling Nineplus neoprene after tip toeing his way into the team. Both suits deserved better waves than weve had recently but the boys were keen to try some new angles including seeing me perched on a rock!
Keep in touch for some more images of these log masters as i'm pretty certain we're not to far from some great shots with these groms.

LOG ON

Despite the less than 1ft conditions I felt pretty honored to be shooting three of the UK's best long boarders. Sunshine, the cleanest waters I've ever seen and logs whistling passed my ears like apache arrows. We didn't expect cover shots but I was pretty amped with the few that did work out.

Second thoughts

 some that should have made the final edit.

SLIDE 65

The last few days have been pretty fun. Fewer lessons at the school have allowed me to jump back in the sea with my camera.
Joined by arguably the UK's best long boarder, we went to work trying to get some pics on his new log from shaper Rob Wright and i'm quietly (or not so as i'm blogging about it) chuffed with the results. check out james's blog  yeeeeeeew!

GUL

One of the UK's surf brands and Cornwall's Very own GUL last week declared themselves bust!
I'm sure the reasoning will be more technical than this and I hope for the sakes of its surf team, sponsored riders and employees that they find away to keep GUL going.
I recently did some work for GUL and featured in their catalogue and online. Thanks for the cheque guys. I really hope its not my fault.

Pazzattack

Last day before Pazza left for down under and my first real water shoot with the new rig. A shocker is the only way I could describe it. JP said the same thing but still threw more shapes than my best break dancing.
Six weeks in Oz should sort him out.

Guess Who?

Still in Hawaii, this is a shot I retrieved from a roll of film.
Shoved my Canon A1 into my housing and it kind of worked.
I did like this one though

British Champ

On Saturday afternoon James Parry, Sennen local and all round top bloke was crowned British Longboard Champion at The final BLU at Gwithian.
Knocking out Ben Skinner in the semi final he needed to win the final in order to maximise points and take the championship.
Needless to stay, calm and collected and along side fellow Sennen surfer Matt Travis he stormed to a welcome victory.
Well done James and best of luck in the Europeans next week.
