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.

Thanks Priscilla

Yesterday i was sent this picture of a painting by a lovely lady called Priscilla. Priscilla painted this whilst watching  Jackson teach her daughter Charlotte.
Jackson sticks out with the 'fro'.
Great work and appreciate the photo Priscilla.

YEEEW

Another rediculously good day at Sennen surfing centre. Its started with our voluntary grom club (sat mornings 9.30-11.00) where every one of the 6-15 year old rippers were treated to peeling left handers. Ive never seen so many trim so easily. Kai and Ellie from Tokyo hopped in with cousin and legend 9 year old Carlos Price. Both naturals and it was so good to showcase cornwalls best side to visitors from far and wide.
Fantastic lesson in the afternoon to finish an allround great day with sunshine and sunburn!

Our grom team taking their chances in the Sennen shorey.  One sponge between seven. Couldn't walk down the beach holding seven bodyboards. These boys have a rep!

TEAM GROM






A week of hanging with our SSC grom team ended in sunshine, 2-3ft surf and high tide. What else would groms do? Grab some skim boards and sponges and fill their wetsuits with sand, Hugo, Jackson and I decided to join them, Most fun i've had in ages. We ended the day with a 7-9pm lesson with dolphins, sunset and fish & chips. Good times all around.

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.

Leo

Leonardo, a Brazillian friend of a friend living in London, popped down last weekend for his fix of saltwater.
Snapped a few shots of him in the sea and this made me feel pretty stoked than a florinopolosososos!!! local felt the cornish stoke.
See you soon brother!

I rarely trawl through the wonder that is Magic Seaweed. However, this morning when wandering what this weekend has in store for us I spotted this gem.
I just hope matie didnt get too wet on this occasion.
