Homeward bound

It’s that time again, home for winter and hopefully some amazing surf in Europe! Looks like loads of swell pumping at the moment! Fingers crossed we will have a winter to remember

I still can’t believe we scored that shippies session 2 days before coming home, so lucky, just goes to show that you can score insane waves at any time of year!

Shippies madness!

Marti and I were freaking after rocking up at high tide to the sight of Shippies booming at 15 foot+, with a combination of the SW swell only building and some of the largest low tides of the year. We knew we where going to be in for some of the most hectic rides of our lives.

Check out some of these links to the most epic session to ever go down at Shippies. Most of the best waves are kept out as the Mags are going to have a fielded day with this. Also check out the vid!

Filling time and learning skills

Being around boards all the time definitely helps refine your ideas on shapes. When the surfs been small I’ve been fixing my boards at my mates factor and learning a fair deal. It’s a really good skill to have when your traveling around.
