Surfing

Last week I attended the Relentless Boardmasters 2010 festival.. I managed to get hold of some media passes this time granting me access to better places to film the skate, bmx and babe events! Enjoy!

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.

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.

Last weekend was a blast at the Newquay Relentless Boardmasters '09 Festival. I have edited together some of the highlights of the festival including the Aerial Assault Surfing Competition, BMX, Skate and Nuts Babemasters into a new video. Enjoy!

I've had some surfing clips sitting on my computer since last month and I thought I would quickly edit them together today in a short video named 'Spray'. Most of it is filmed on 26th December 2008 at Corbyn Head. Enjoy!

I have updated the gallery section with new pictures taken today and yesterday of Surfing at Corbyn Head and Kitesurfing at Paignton. The easterlies should continue till tomorrow and start to fade out on Monday so there should be plenty more time to get some surf in.

One of our site members gave me the heads up that he may be going down to M&S for a surfing session today. Although no where near what M&S is capable of the surf was indeed ridable and I snapped some new pictures for the gallery. Enjoy!

Easterlies finally came in bringing onshore crumbling mayhem... But it was good enough with some nice sizable waves on the outside. Dan got some nice pics whilst I caught a few on his trusty 'Yak'.

To the kitesurfer who injured his ankle we all wish you a speedy recovery and hope to see you out on the water soon.
