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.

Into autumn with a bang
Plenty of groundswell at the moment. The WCSC Surfers Ball went off on Sat night with the 'Screamin' Halloween' event and judging from the photos - a good time was had by all! The costumes get better every year. LOL
One benefit of not being able to go was a clear head on Sunday morning so I hit my usual and had nice 2-3ft clean surf with a moderate E wind.
Good fun as a large OTL contingent(old surfing message board I used to run) turned up so although a little crowded, there were plenty of party waves, drop ins and good vibes.
In attendance were: john rainbow, harv, grant, geth, ceri, wilks, blods, rick, aran and chris.
The winds were making for slow rides but if you caught a set wave and took off in the curl then it was good fun.
Harv and I shared a nice long right together and I managed to go straight over him as he duck-dived in front me as I took my last wave in - a nice long left.
This morning's perfection. Pic by Catherine Tanner:
It's pumping out there today with a solid groundswell and wave period and light winds - the calm before the storm.
9am: 1.3m, 10 seconds and a light N wind which is veering sw today.
Already getting reports of Gower reefs being 6ft and glassy but crowded. Read Doc's report from this morning.
