They call me Gull and I've been known to squawk a bit. I threw away my thrusters in 1999. I now spend my days riding boards of all shapes and sizes - from single fins to quads to bonzer fives in Wales where I'm fortunate enough to have an abundance of quality beach breaks and reefs on my doorstep. I'll be documenting my exploits as often as I can. There will also be plenty of other aquatic action, surf related updates and photography featured. Feel free to comment.

Killers visit Whales
Like what I did there?
Yeah? No?
Okay...
Well it's pretty exciting to know that we have Orcas swimming offshore ready to pounce on cute, cuddly unsuspecting tourists...
I meant seals. Yes, seals but I'm sure they eat fish too, but not too many as I'm out there trying to catch bass this summer and I find it hard enough already.
You can find out more in my other blog @ BBC Wales Nature
I remember years ago an ASP event in Reunion Island being postponed due to Killer Whales cruising through the lineup.
Imagine that...not really knowing if they're going to accidentally mistake you for food.
There's also a great video of our old favourite - the kayak being nailed by a breaching Killer Whale.
I could never work out if it was real or fake but apparently it's an old Powerade commercial.
It's fun all the same and no whales were injured during the making of this film:
