Arrival at Oceanside CA
Arrival at Oceanside CA
We’re in California! Or more precisely, Oceanside, which will be our base until Saturday when the Race Across America begins. Coming into LAX The flight was fine, we’re all a little tired after 11 hours on a plane, but stepping out into the California sunshine is the perfect reward. We went from the airport straight into that famous LA traffic, then two hours south to Oceanside. About half of the…

New App will Help Surfers Discover their Perfect Wave
New App will Help Surfers Discover their Perfect Wave
“Only a surfer knows the feeling”: For decades Billabong’s tagline has been as effective as more fanciful attempts to describe the sensation of gliding across a peeling ocean wall. The phrase also holds true for attempts to nail down the precise conditions our oceans’ waves need in order to work. Only a surfer knows the feeling – of frustration. As the internet throws out forecasts and guides…

RNLI Lifeguard Rescues Teens at Langland
RNLI Lifeguard Rescues Teens at Langland
An RNLI lifeguard rescued three teenagers who had drifted more than 300m from a Swansea beach in big waves and high winds. Lifeguards had raised the red flag at Langland Bay on Saturday (20 August) as the adverse weather and swell conditions meant there were strong rip currents and the sea was unsafe to enter. Three teenage boys were seen entering the water with two surfboards and a bodyboard and…

Not Surfing but Cycling
Not Surfing but Cycling
The toughest physical challenge of my life starts here…. Despite having never ridden a road bike in my life, I’ve signed up to the Race Across America (RAAM). 3000 miles, coast to coast, right across the States in less than a week. I’m doing this as part of an eight-man team (sorry – not even I’m crazy enough to race RAAM solo). But as the least experienced cyclist in the team by far, I’ve got my…

My Heaviest Session Ever
My Heaviest Session Ever
As summer approaches, hoods, gloves and booties are beginning to vanish from the line-up. Once again we say goodbye to surfing while mummified in neoprene. This time always fills me with renewed optimism for surfing, so in a final farewell to the rubber-laden days of winter, here’s a look back at my heaviest session ever- the Langland Santa Surf-Off. Now an annual event now, numbers at this…

After the launch of Behind The Lines, Red Bull and Saltrock ambassador Andrew Cotton told all at an exclusive Q&A session. Was it difficult to get funding for Behind The Lines?

Dawn Dancers get Gennith's Best
Dawn Dancers get Gennith’s Best
The early-risers scored clean head-high waves at Llangennith on the weekend, while the snoozers had to contend with stronger off-shores on the dropping tide. The forecast for Llangennith on Magicseaweed.com The wind was due to be favourable for Gower’s west coast, with light south-easterlies on the cards throughout the day. But in exposed coastal areas – and you can’t get much more exposed than…

Film Review: Behind the Lines
Film Review: Behind the Lines
Energy levels were reaching critical at Red Bull studios recently for the London premiere of Andrew Cotton’s latest film, Behind The Lines. No-one was more amped than Cotty who greeted old friends and new while thanking everyone for travelling so far to get to the venue near London Bridge. A free bar and as much Red Bull as you could handle meant the partisan crowd was literally frothing by the…

Behind the Film Review of Behind the Lines
After attending the London premiere of Andrew Cotton’s new film, Behind The Lines, I’ve written a film review which I’m now trying to have published. Standing room only at Red Bull HQ I was pretty stoked to be invited to the event, held at the HQ of Cotty’s sponsor, Red Bull. For one evening it put me at the forefront of Europe’s big wave scene; the place was packed, the atmosphere was awesome…

The Colour and the Shape
Surfboards: The Colour and the Shape
Since its birth in the 60s, modern-day surfing has always been associated with going against the grain. While the board-shaping processes of that era are still broadly in use today, developments in computer technology may be about to spark wave-riding’s biggest rebellion yet. The brainchild of a surfing instructor and snowboard teacher from the UK, Australian surfboard construction firm Disrupt…

Why I love summer surfing...part 1
Here in the UK the warmer months aren’t known for their abundance in surfable waves, so when a swell comes through you have to get in the mix, or risk staying dry for weeks on end. After a fair flat spell, old Poseidon yawned and drop kicked a little swell towards Welsh shores last week, sending Swansea fish-folk into a feeding frenzy. Which brings me to the first good thing about summer surfing…

100% Cotton: The Fabric of a Big Wave Surfer
100% COTTON: THE FABRIC OF A BIG WAVE SURFER
Andrew Cotton was in Cardiff recently to mark his appointment as Saltrock ambassador. The famous British surf brand put on one of the tastiest barbecues I’ve ever been to, at the Forest Tea Rooms near Castle Coch in Cardiff – one of the most chilled out venues I’ve ever been to. Over a fantastic afternoon I got to meet the rhino hunter himself, along with other surfers, journalists and…
