10 Board Challenge

On October the 21st 2012 I organised a Girls only fun competition with an emphasis on style and stoke. Entrants chose one of ten boards which included a variety of fishes, longboards, shortboards and mid length boards. 

Unfortunately we didn't get the ladylike playful waves I wished for and were instead greeted by a 6ft+
grinding swell..most of the boards weren't really made for this..

However out of 33 entrants, 20 turned up and competed and I am pleased that everyone enjoyed themselves and showed full commitment all the way through to the final.
Respect to everyone who entered especially to the youngsters as it was difficult conditions.

Claire Louise Smail, Sian Hoskins, Samantha Sunshine and me made it through to the final, with Claire taking the title with her fancy footwork in the reforms, Samantha Raine close behind, me third (tried to get a big one far out back, but couldn’t get into them) and shortboarding Sian Hoskins 4th.

Big thanks again to all envolved to make this such a fun day:
all the competitors, Sarah Bentley from Vans, her mum and aunty, the National Trust, the RNLI, Surfgirl Magazine, Shore Surf School, Godrevy National Trust Cafe, Seed Surfboards, Otter Surfboards, Empire Surfboards.

Hopefully we see you all again next summer for 10 Board Challenge 2!

Surfgirl article

great article in Surfgirl mag about Sarah Bentley, Holly Donelly and me surfing

some interesting shapes on a glimpse of swell and sunshine at the southcoast back in may.

It's about how much fun you can have with the right quiver even if the conditions

are less than average..(like quite often here in the UK)

Just open your mind, switch up your board choices and take a board out you never 

thought about riding before and be surprised how much fun it can be..

Jed thought it's crap!

Alex Knost Singlefin

Inspired by last weeks Southcoast session where I tried

a super fun Adreini 7"8 singlefin, I found this video
really inspiring..

If there'd just be some swell..

Strolls through Bodmin Moor

As the surf has been more than disappointing recently
we went out for a stroll through our beautiful cornish countryside
and even the sun showed us some glimpses through the thick clouds..
go out, stay fit and enjoy yourselves!..it can only get better..
