Riders on the Storm 2017.
Riders on the Storm 2017.
Every now and then the weather is just too bad for surfing the usual breaks and you have to find a sheltered bay and just ride it out. Sometimes these storm days are the most fun. With high winds, heavy rain, very unsettled weather and a big swell this weekend, surfing Rhossilli or Llangenith just wasn’t an option. So we headed to Caswell Bay during a lull in the storm to surf the steep powerful…

Finding Our Epic. End of Summer 2016.
Finding Our Epic. End of Summer 2016.
Find your epic, was the challenge set out by Visit Wales this Summer. They asked people to photograph great things around Wales and post those photos with the hashtag #FindYourEpic. To increase awareness of this marketing campaign Visit Wales had a giant Epic Sign made and placed at breathtaking venues around Wales. Controversial maybe, but shouldn’t all social media campaigns encourage debate?…

Riding More, Rhossili 20th & 21st August 2016. #RideMore
Riding More, Rhossili 20th & 21st August 2016. #RideMore
August has been a great month for surfing. In my mission to just simply #RideMore I managed to get down Rhossili Bay, Gower on both Saturday and Sunday, 20th & 21st of August 2016. The Saturday had a consistent swell, but it was slightly windy. Apart from the wind it was fun in the sun and definitely worth getting in the water. It must have been perfect conditions (10 mph onshore wind) for…

#RideMore 4, 5,& 6. Summer 2016.
It took a while but after making a resolution to just #RideMore (bikes, boards and waves) finally I am out nearly every day. Unfortunately this has meant the blog has suffered and not seen enough updates. So with no more delays here is what I have been doing. A late improvement in summer weather saw me surfing Sker Beach within Kenfig National Nature Reserve. It was the usual hard walk to the…

#StormWatch. Riding the Storm, Oxwich, Gower 20th August 2016.
#StormWatch. Riding the Storm, Oxwich, Gower 20th August 2016.
This has been on our #StormWatch radar for over a week. A massive unseasonable storm heading for the UK. Winds over 40 mph, and a ground swell of 12 feet plus. Adding to that there was a high spring tide that threatened storm surge conditions. All of which meant that nearly every Gower break was death on a stick! Warnings were in place, surfers were urging people to look out for each other on…

#RideMore 2 & 3, Deeper into Kenfig National Nature Reserve.
#RideMore 2 & 3, Deeper into Kenfig National Nature Reserve.
The plan back in January was simple, #RideMore this year. It isn’t going well. I have managed three surfs this year, all of which have been at Kenfig Sands. My first surf was #RideMore 1 at Sker Beach, you can read about that here. #RideMore 2 was also at Sker Beach which is at the southern end of Kenfig sands. Kenfig sands is a massive beach which runs along the coast of Kenfig National Nature…

Pobbles Evening High Tide. 17th June 2016.
Pobbles Evening High Tide. 17th June 2016.
I love these long light evenings as we approach the summer solstice. It gives me and Molly, the french bulldog plenty of time to get an evening walk down to Pobbles Bay, Gower. There is nothing as good as summer evening at the beach on high tide. And Pobbles Bay has to be one of the best beaches visit on a summer evening. Molly and I often get the beach to ourselves, but I am being to think that…

#RideMore 1. First surf of the year, Sker beach 20th May 2016.
#RideMore 1. First surf of the year, Sker beach 20th May 2016.
Shockingly I haven’t surfed this year before today! A cold spring and just a busy life has kept me out of the sea. Back in January several us decided that we should try and surf, ride and snowboard as much as we can this year. Replacing the #Mentro21 challenge where I set out to surf 21 times last year, this year there is no target, just an attempt to #RideMore. So today I did get in the water…
