Mr. G

Cold, wet and physically pooped, I wondered down to the waters edge the other day whilst the surf can only be described as pumping!
A few locals were representing one of which was Mr. Kirsten Gorvin.
Kitted as if it was still mid January style-master Gorvin pulled out some new tricks

Easter Already!

Easter arrived as if it had never left. It really doesn't seem like last year we were climbing into wet wetsuits and pulling keen young faces into cold spring waves.
This easter has seen the absence of one Sennen son, Sam Tellam.
Sam is currently seeking his destiny in Brighton. Teaching Pillates and gigging like theres no tomorrow.
Best of luck Sam, but don't be a stranger!

Flowrider

This week saw the opening of the Uk's first permanent 'Flowrider'.
Retallack Resort based near Newquay launched in front of some of the UK's biggest names in surfing, and Hugo, Pete and myself! the most exciting static wave to bless British shores.
Jason Keyter, director of Retallack, shared plans to create another Flowrider within the next 12 months and phase three of their plans is to create the Uk's first artificial wave that could break for 100 meters.
Excited businessmen, surfers and journalists took todays opportunity to question the resort director on the possible effects this could have on the UK's surf industry.

Loove the slide.

Lack of surf has meant any poor souls reading my blog (bless you) have seen very little surf related posts but more of my fumbling around with my trusty Hasselblad.
I've taken the flat spell as an opportunity to test different film out and I'm afraid I have expensive taste.
Old skool to the core, its all about slide and Velvia is my new love.





Expired Kodachrome (1986)

A bit dodgy but considering the film was 24 years old (1986), I was just stoked to see colour on the negs.
If anyone has more expired film i'd suggest leaving it for another few years!





Carve Advert

Kindly designed by the boys at Carve for this months issue. Brings back memories of years yonder.

Mousehole.

Two weeks of working with the old man in Mousehole.
This quaint little village once quoted by Dylan Thomas as "the most beautiful village in England"
Well, when the sun shines and the seagulls squark you couldn't ask for more.
Oh, and the smell of pasties...heaven!
