    On Friday the 4th of August a small ground swell pushed on to Gower, part of the welsh surfing coastline. There to greet these perfect waves were the wave hungry junior surfing academy armed with their INT wave riding vehicles.

Surf fitness is a totally different animal all together! Feed me the Stoke..

Surfing atlantic

After enduring over 8 weeks out of the water due to summer working season etc I have just completed my 5th surf session in a couple of days and it is bloody hard work.

You can swim, play rugby, box but nothing prepares you for 2-3 meter surf better than just getting in there and getting battered..

The upside is that the getting battered and surfing like a novice for a week or so is a small price to pay as you feel your surf fitness and confidence coming back which of course then leads to STOKE.

Surfing for the stoke is addictive, anyway more food then back in the water to make a clown of myself again, but I don't care in a months time I will be ready for the main event which is in every surfers calender > Winter time and winter swells bring it on and feed me the stoke!

All we do is surf!

Stoked!

Another great day for most of Europe's surfing population with more on the way time to get that pasta down you, wax your board and fill your boots!

All we do is surf!

Stoked!

Live, Surf and Travel (All we do is surf!)

Day1

At last the Western seaboard of Europe get's real surf with some surf spots recording 20 second swell period which is amazing for Europe. It was just a case of pick a spot on the map, pack boards and go..

With waves forecast for a few more days it looks like a fun weekend for everyone. looking at the long range forecast looks like we will have to wait another 10-14 days before the next big low winds itself up in the Atlantic and hopefully we get a repeat of this swell.

He is going to be one to watch in the surf and apparently is already a very good football player!

Hopefully he will follow in the footsteps of Josh Hammett, Adam Reminitz, Beth Mason and Gwen Spurlock.  By the way his sister Lara has the makings of being a great Welsh talent also.

Junior surfing for young people from the Autism spectrum at Caswell bay

Well despite the weather there are waves at last and likely to last all week! It has been a long period of poor weather and small waves for learning now at least the waves should offer all surfers something to play in.

On the upside it was great to see our young surfers on BBC Wales the other night hopefully they will get the financial support they require to keep on surfing at Caswell bay > http://bbc.in/aQJahM

Summers here at least there is surf at Caswell Bay for the surfschool !

Wipe out at caswell beach swansea
 Well more rain today, hopefully clearing up this arvo. Fun waves for the surfschool at Caswell Bay again today due to the protection offered at this particular beach.

Above picture is of my daughter aged 9 wiping out all part of the joy of surfing, rain or shine your going to get wet anyway!

For the rest of the week it looks like a westerly flow with sun, rain, cloud and more rain so yes typical of what British summers are known for!  Next Friday onwards looks like the jet stream is changing and we may get a period of nice weather..so keep the faith !

Anyway see you on the beach >

    Oahu, Hawaii.

    • Perfect_righthand_point_peeling_at_lani_
      I love Hawaii, it's that simple. Every wave tests you and your ability. I truly believe that if one is to be a surfer he/she must travel to the home of surfing to sample it's delights at least once.

    Chris Bertish big wave surfer

    • Todos Santos, Baja.
      Chris Bertish is not only a good friend of mine but one of the few people that I trust in the most challenging of surfing conditions. Chris, simply in my view is one of the best big wave surfers in the world.

    Atlantic Island big wave surfing paradise

      This is an outdoor adventure paradise. The surf is of the highest standard with the North Atlantic throwing the largest rideable waves at the perfect points.

      A great place to eat good food, surf excellent waves if your lucky. Go out of the silly season and you will score perfect waves.

    Richard Mullins

    • Mcroni_26th_1121
      Here are just a few of Richards surf shots, how good would it be to have your logo on his boards! Well now here is your chance, he needs a sponsor for the forthcoming years to help him compete on the BPSA and travel the world surfing radical waves.
