It's been a long..long..long time since I posted some Skimboarding content....too long, apologies for that. Here are some shots I took yesterday of a group of skimboarders on Preston Beach.

Kevin Gregory contacted me today and mentioned that the Brown Water Classic local surf competition will hopefully take place tomorrow with a meeting time at 8am on Preston Beach. The competition is an open event and will hopefully kick start with an under 18 juniors tier.

After work, I visited Paignton/Preston Beach at low tide and snapped some new photos of some regular kite'ees and new faces. The conditions are looking better this weekend for surfing, so hopefully I can do another gallery update later on.

In one of Nick's more successful projects (Many of you might recall one of his last i.e. Project L.S.D. where he nearly seriously injured a dog and civilian) he has put up an interesting blog post about his first attempt at making a SUP paddle and a few step by step instructions.

The conditions on windguru looked good today for surfing in Paignton.. There were quite a few peeps down there and hopefully I managed to snap you all.

A few peeps mentioned they were heading to Preston/Paignton for a windsurfing session this morning. I grabbed my camera and headed over as I had a few spare hours before work. Ended up being a good turnout and as always, it's great to see all the familiar faces!
