Surfing

Today, during work, I was able to get down to Livermead Beach to take some pics of the local small gathering of surfers. Also, I was able to head over to Paignton Beach to see the kitesurfing action. I was abit disappointed I couldn't make it a little earlier as people were starting to pack up.

A fantastic sunny day with a light easterly coming through, I managed to get down to Paignton Pier at about 2pm yesterday to take some pics of the surfer guys and gals. If you were there at that time, you might want to take a look at the new additions.

Managed to get down after work to take some pics at Paignton Beach, fairly small very random swell. However, got some good pics out of it. Anyone that was there surfing or bodyboarding between 5.30pm and 6.30pm take a look, you might well have been snapped!

Anyone who was windsurfing/kitesurfing yesterday between 1:00PM and 3:00PM or if you were catching the high tide swell by Paignton Pier around 5:00PM you may be interested in taking a look at these latest gallery additions. The conditions were good and there are many new and familiar faces.

No wind and nice swell rolled into Bantham yesterday. Dan was on hand to snap of some nice pics. Being a windsurfer I took the opportunity to progress my apprenticeship into the beautiful lifestyle that is surfing.

Todays gallery update shows some familiar faces in the kayaking and surfing scenes. Although i've put the pics up today, they were taken last Friday at Paignton Beach - it was cold, dark and rather windy. I wanted to stay longer, however, lighting conditions were not favourable and focusing was getting difficult.

On another note, we have also added FistralSurf and Reactive Watersports to the local shops page.

Luckily we got the right conditions yesterday for some mediocre waves down at Paignton. I froze my buttocks off taking the pics but at the same time I imagined how cold it was for the brave surfers!
