Fun waves at home!

So had some real fun waves at home over the last couple of days, a few local spots have been really good thanks to the stormy conditions creating plenty of swell to reach the little nooks and cranny's! Got a few filming sessions down with Mr B going towards the film we are working on over this winter. The teaser is going to be released in the next week or 2... working on some pretty exciting projects with some guys so keep your eyes peeled!
So plans for the Christmas period..?
Lanzarote tomorrow! Hopefully a little surf in the morning before heading out there with the family until New Years Eve. Charts are looking fun so will hopefully be getting some good waves and also some footage! We will keep you posted over the next couple of weeks!
Cheers!

Onshore Croyde...

Another fun weekend just gone. Been up in Croyde with the rest of the British squad. Fun weekend of training, pretty hideous waves! Started off the rankings for the team selection, not sure of the full rankings yet but will keep posted! Cheers to Ester Spears, Lloyd Cole and John Ellis for coaching and also Matt Knight for all the help he chucked in.
Now suffering from some hideous man flu... no surfing for a couple of days, but Lanzarote in just over a week should make up for it!

Squad training and fun waves!

So British squad training yesterday... coach Gray and Micheal Paelligrino were taking the sessions. It was mainly fitness and classroom sessions discussing technique and what is expected/needed for the British team. It was pretty cool and really beneficial and we also got a little surf at Tolcarne which was better than expected so a bonus!


Had some really fun waves today. 5.30am get up and a long drive but the rewards were worth it! 3-4ft offshore peaks, some nice English barrels. Another fun surf this afternoon at a Cornish wedge as well made it a quality day!
Was being filmed by my mate George Martin so hopefully some good clips will come out of that!


Looking forward to the teachers being on strike Wednesday which means no school and there's gonna be good waves!

2011 Contest season coming to an end...

So the 2011 contest season is pretty much over... another fun year has passed.


On the Uk Pro tour, I (Ed) finished 19th in the open, 9th in the Pro junior, 6th in the Under 16's and 13th on the Relentless Super Series (top 28 open division).
Jak placed 24th in the open, 11th in the Pro junior and 21st in the Relentless Super Series.
A fun year on the tour with the exciting new events! Cheers to Dave and the UK Pro Surf tour crew for making it run smoooothly!


So, plans for the winter?


I am in the Under 16's British squad. Training sessions over the coming months will result in the top 4 out of the 8 selected to represent Britain in the World Junior games next year in Panama.
As well as this, we are getting as much footage as possible to bang out a film over this winter with Mr B! Keep your eyes peeled for that one...
A trip to Lanza over Christmas with the family and a few little trips around the British Isles chasing swells later, next years contest season will be here!


We will keep you posted! Cheers!

FILMING

Small rights

Just thought i'd upload a few pics now i'm back to fitness after slicing my foot awhile ago, its surprising how long it took to heal and how much muscle i lost in my knee and ankle... ive been going to the gym and swimming a lot in the evenings and last week we had a real good run of swell down here... unfortunately no one was around to film or get shots, but on the last day of the swell we got a few fun waves...
