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

Hey everyone

Haven't updated the blog in a while. Just to say we are working on a film with Mr B which will be released after this winter. Hopefully a short teaser coming up in the next week or 2 to show you what we have been up to. 
Going to try and keep the blog updated more often now!
