What a week! The spring swells have been pretty good the last couple of weeks. Squeezing in 2 sessions a day most days is great! Some exciting things in the pipeline this summer too...watch this space! Photo...A local reef; a tad messy but the ONA makes it smooth!

Still Here!

Hello...from the deepest darkest depths of yorkshire! For those of you wondering, I'm still alive and kicking, just been a bit manic lately with buying a house!! I know I must be getting old...there's only so long i can live in a van! It's been a long cold winter up here with long flat spells but Spring's arrived and so have the waves. Had a great session this evening at Saltburn putting the Watertech ONA through its paces. :-) Really impressed. Locks in nicely on the steep fast walls and charges really down the line. I'm making sections that i don't expect to. It's slightly more locked in so harder to tail slash but that's a small price to pay, compared to the speed and effortless way that it roundhouses...feels great! Hopefully i'll be able to find someone with a camera soon to get some shots. Meanwhile, it's back to working on the house (between sessions), which in it's current state is only a small step up from my van!

Coldwater: Cayton Bay

Finally managed to run the Cayton bay event on Saturday. Thanks to everyone who turned up and helped make the day a success. It was especially good to see so many new faces...that's what it's all about. Well done to Gary Adcock for surfing to victory in style. Conditions were particularly difficult, turning into a 6ft beach dump, but a good day was had by all :)

Sea Kayaking in Guernsey

I've just got back up 'tut' north and Autumn's arrived with a bang, but had a great week back home in Guernsey, Sea Kayaking, Surfing and generally chilling out.

The sea kayaking around Guernsey is amongst the best in the world in my opinion... 10m tides, Atlantic swells and loads of small islands to explore.

Mike (a colleague from work) joined me down there and we did a couple of short classics: a round island trip and accross to Herm. Windy conditions prevented us from doing anything epic but it nice to get a break. Got lots on the 'to do list' though! Will have to return soon!

Harvey Brothers Sponsored by Watertech

My brother Adam (Junior World Champion) has just joined me in the Watertech Team...exciting times! I'm stoked about his surfing...he's really ripping, although it's getting hot on the heels!
