Another holiday weekend over and the whole summer to look forward 2 !

PIC: Gower sunset, Langland Beach

All those that took the risk and stayed in the UK this Easter scored big with superb weather and awesome waves to play in, offering near perfect conditions.

Several guys I know went to Europe and ended up wasting hours in airports due to delays etc Nightmare.

The two magic ingredients for a credit crunch recovery here in the UK is simply good weather this summer and the Euro staying strong, so more Brits will stay in the UK and spend their hard earned cash with British companies.

Last night we all went to Langland's Brasserie they organised a band and barbecue which was wedged after another perfect day down the beach. We stood on the balcony looking over Langland watching the sunset across the clear sky with a beer in hand.. awesome.

The best bit of course was that I bought 3 pints for the price of one in rip off Europe!

Oahu, Hawaii.

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.

Pays Basque

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.
