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.

Hurricane season is upon us
At last, we have a reason to live again!
God Bless America - I even forgive George Bush.
Hurricane Bill is lining up and we're next in line.
The weekend is looking nice with offshore's and a decent swell forecast. You never know it might even be sunny!
Next week 'ist crankenhausen' as we say in Germany.
Wax up the rhino chasers, boys n girls
Thy will be gun.

Break dance boogaloo
I couldn't just sit on a clip of this quality!
Since becoming a dad I've managed 2 surfs so I'm not doing too badly and the current flat spell has helped.
Looks like the weekend should bring something even it is onshore.
Enjoy the clip and pls warm up properly before attempting any of these moves!
I am currently looking into adopting this kid. I think he could slot nicely into Gull's dance troupe.

Fin time
I've not been blogging lately, not since the day before my birthday...29 July when the next generation of surfer decided to come along, 10 days early!
29 hrs of labour later and Fin Tyler Aaron popped out, after plenty of great work from mum. He certainly racked up some tube time and has plenty of stamina for those long evening glass offs....
So blog updates regarding surfing will be a bit limited but I can report that we both sat down yesterday and watched my newest surfng dvd - 'The Present', quite ironic really...as I received the ultimate present this year.
'Fin' particularly enjoyed the Africa segments with plenty of bongo drumming action and the Waimea surfing on the ancients boards - amazing to see them in action and making a few too!
The surf looks like it's been okay out there but nothing all time. Hopefully I'll have some energy this week for a quick dip in between the washing up, cooking, cleaning, nappy changing and baby cwtching ;)
