I feel sick

Maldive Boat trip

I knew there was a reason why I am staying and surfing in the English "summer" which has been the worst for weather and waves I have ever known....imagine shelling the Sputnik to go to the Maldives and then that happening.....still good opportunity to Robinson Crusoe it and beat the crowds.

Getting your wetty off.

Queens sticks to retro quiver

On her diamond Jubilee Prince Philip took her to Regents Park shaping shack, despite Phil the Greek's advice for her to get contemporary and go parabolic and pull the rails in, Queenie just couldn't bear the idea of losing her hot dogging trim lines.................keel fins and flat rockered till the end.

Cornish waves

There are waves in Cornwall I haven't and cannot surf. There are waves in Cornwall that are still mythical. They are not down a track I haven't tried yet, they are not so rare, that hours of driving and gallons of petrol put me off. They are not so fabled that I do not possess photographs of them. Here are the photos of a Cornish wave I have not ridden. May be one day.
