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.

Northerly swell
I'll be keeping my eye on this nice little low heading over Northern Ireland this weekend and into next week. I was hoping to score waves out west in Lahinch - Mayo country this trip but I'm not sure that's going to happen now looking at the long range weather charts.
A few spots up north should be firing though and the beauty of Ireland is that there is always somewhere to surf and a new spot waiting to be discovered just around the corner.
Rumour has it, we might be hooking up with Irish big wave legend Al Mennie again - so hopefully we'll get some decent sized waves this time - anything will be better than the 2ft drivel we had last trip back in April.
Local news - the surf comp organised by Steve Horn had some decent swell for the contest on Saturday and Sunday at Rest Bay.
Check out a nice slide show of all the action courtesy of Adie at surftalk.
Nothing much in the way of surf again today as high pressure continues to dominate our weather. This cloud should clear for the weekend though.
