I had a couple of weeks of after leaving Ilfracombe which was much needed to repair my surfboard & wetsuit.

Rips & Rocks!

Wednesday 20th September 2006 is a day I will remember for the rest of my life.
I finish work & head to Putsborough. Its One & a half overhead at least, with double overhead sets coming in.
I get a nervous feeling in my stomach cos I know I'm gonna give it a go.
I look at where its smallest...through the rocks.
Theres a rip there so figure what the heck!

I go in & am paddling for 10 minutes. The rips not quite picked me up, & I'm getting close to the the south rock wall.
I look behind me & things are getting worse - theres a jutting out rock there & to make matters worse theres a 2ft wave coming towards me. SHIT! This is not happening.
A flukily well timed & executed duck dive & I'm out of danger & in the rip heading out the back. I'm very close to the south wall now & pretty scared.
I paddle away from the wall. I rest for a bit - shaken up.


I see a set coming - I'm in position. To late to paddle past it! Gotta go for.
I paddle, knowing I'm gonna get trashed - I do after nearly getting up on the wave.
When I submerge a surfer gets off a wave next to me & says "shit man don't you know to look over your shoulder!" smiles & paddles out the back.
Time to go in me thinks! I catch awave & don't even think about getting up - I'm clutching my board for dear life!
I get in. The news reports hurricane gordon's waves are hitting devon & cornwalls coast.
PJ's surf report warns surfers to take care!

I forgot my camera that day so the above pic's don't do the day justice. The next day was similar but slightly bigger - heres some pic's with the digital the next day.
I've made a movie too!

"OUTSIDE!"


Out through the rocks - DON'T try this at home kids!


BOSH!


Nice double overhead set...


And another..


Ok - here's the clip I've edited - amateur I know but what did you expect?!

Will & Vals wedding!

Can you believe it? Another wedding! After a hard weeks work where I hand in my resignation at Superdrug, Ilfracombe (long story - not worth reflecting back on!) I head back to "Landan" Friday night. Upon awaking Saturday morning I realise I have nowt to wear having left my work clothes in Devon.
Nothing for it but to go shopping at Canary Wharf - just 20 mins from my place by DLR. I love Greenwich!
Fortunately I said I was not gonna be at the ceremony - I get there at half 2 in a taxi just as lunch is being dished out!
We Enjoy the fantastic wine & food...

"Mmh - I don't normaly like tomatoes Fais but this is delicious!"


Will gets his own speech out of the way in typical wit & style.


Tough one to follow for Martin the best man, but handled like a true proffesional...


After lunch the cake is cut...


The wine does the job..


As does the lager...


The helium balloons were destined for our lungs from the outset...
"Think your a tuff guy, huh?"
(click on this text for the video clip)

Come on guys, bring us back to sanity. Ah yes the first dance...


They were almost outshone by this young groover - check out this bad boy!!
(click here for video clip)

The wedding celebration was awesome as are the couple who did the deed, don't they look gorgeous together...

We've driven 8 hours from Stranraer. Its 4am. Me & Davy are cream crackered!
After a good sleep we get up to a lovely day & head off to Paula & Pauls wedding celebration at Narrow st pub Limehouse. An excellent choice I might add ;-)
Cal & Tej approved...


Here we are before the carnage started...

The happy couple was there to greet us...


With champagne & balloons...

A great time was had by all.
Here's the calm, witty, mild mannered Steve...

But give him a few pints & a viking hat...
He turns into STEVIL!!!


As usual Paul gets blotto - but then again why not be happy when your married to a lovely welsh lass.
Congratulations again guys!!!
