Elusive........

The boys at Elusive have been kind enough to send me some boardies and T's ready for my trip to Sri Lanka. Elusive is an independent surf and lifestyle clothing brand from Wales. They actively support surfing by sponsoring riders and contests.

Big thanks!
There's 6 0f us heading out to "Lanka" in less than 2 weeks time. It's gonna be great to get some warm waves, we're all psyched to go. Yeeew!

Top ten

So the British Longboar Tour (BLU) is over for another year. As always, it was great to be surfing against some quality surfers, many laughs were shared and as per usual the final event at Gwithian was no exception. The event turned out to be a cracking weekend even though the surf was pretty poor, with many people putting in some sterling efforts on the kareoke, especially Greg "bum muff" Robinson!

At the start of the season I set myself a target of finishing in the top ten. After a few events I was unsure whether this was attainable after being knocked out in 1/4's by less than a point twice in a row. In the end it was all pretty tight, but stoked to scrape the top ten and bring on next season!


To be honest with me ripping like the shot below shows, I don't know how I wasn't top of the rankings!
Cheers to Adrian Lincoln of SurfTalk for getting this shot of me at my best!
