The Cribbar 15th Dec

What an amazing run of swell and wind we have had in Cornwall since the 10th December. After a pretty lackluster autumn, it really has made up for it with there being only two days I haven't been in the water, and that was because it was simply too big and windy! The crazy thing is, that there is no sign of it stopping with next week forecast 31ft 17 seconds! Problem is now all the sand has been washed away and most of the beachies are big closeout death pits, if only we had some quality reef set ups to handle the size!

Tomorrow I am flying to Cape Town, can't wait as I've not been to the Cape of Good Fun since 2004 and am really in need of some sunshine. Add to that, the forecast is looking amazing for monday on with the Cape Doctor blowing and a decent swell!
Big thanks to Cornwall and the Santa Storms for keeping me sane over this strange time for me, JNP Events and Ansum Pics for some amazing shots, My sponsors- North Kiteboarding, O'Neill wetsuits, Freeriders for all the support this year and of course JP and Inlayz for making the best surfboards you can get!
Be sure to check out the mags in January for a full write up along with some amazing pics!
Hope to see plenty of you in Cape Town or on my Dakhla coaching holiday in march. Stay safe and I wish you an amazing 2014 :)

Pasty & Genty

After four years of waiting, yesterday it finally all came together to Kitesurf the Cribbar, Cornwall's notorious big wave spot located off Towan Headland, Newquay.
Neal Gent and myself, Lee 'Pasty' Harvey were Kitesurfing using normal surfboards with no straps while Steve Thorp, Ross Williams and Jan Sleigh were Windsurfing. More pics and full write up coming soon!

Tiree going off last 2 days, comp starts today

Had some awesome conditions up here in Tiree, Scotland the last 2 days with a huge storm blasting over 50 knot winds and 20ft of swell. Sunday was absolutely crazy with the squalls going from 30-60 knots and horizontal hail. Crazy painfull on my ears as I was the lone rider out on my 6m Rebel at Balephiul most of the afternoon in some confused double overhead bombs.
Monday and with the wind blowing cross off all night the waves had cleaned up nicely and the wind actually picked up to a constant 40 knots with only 50 knot gusts. After Sundays painfull squalls I wore my hood and along with my O'Neill Pyrotech 5/3 wetsuit was lovely and warm, again mostly out by myself on the 5m Dice and 6'" Pro surfboard. British Kitewave champs starts today at 10.30, looking bit smaller but should still be overhead and its still blowing over 30.
For the latest pics check out ExPix and Blast on Facebook and of course Like my page for all my latest updates.
Big thanks to my sponsors and family for all the support.
