Posted: October 27th, 2008, 4:21pm CET

had great week started in exeter on Tuesday night with crew from exeter uni and vass bit of a mad one.

off on Wednesday to gwithian for a surf with vass instructor Jamie Gibbs good head high waves bit mussy but great fun.

Thursday wet off at gwithian with mast high sets rolling stacked on my 5.0. all guys from vass where there shredding it up bubbles sister went out for her first time wave sailing ever that day too fair play to that mast high gwitian pretty hectic first wave session.

i had a mega swim i was sure i was out the back pop ed over a wave to see a massive crumblier right there landing on me my kit got swooped all way in up on to only rock hole of gwithian GREAT! sat up there high and dry i could see it as i was swimming from about a mile out love it.

i had toclime up to get it down it was intact must be that solid GOYA kit

Friday we shot up to bude for Aussie kiss seven where some epic partying went on with around 300 students all mad for it.

Saturday hard morning for driving to the demo and event it was in cool location good for the beginner windsurfers and we had wind to get planing which was sweet did some freeriding/freestyleing

sat night fancy dress night the seven deadly sins. it definitely was deadly some amazing fancy dress going down George in his deadly bin and proffit in a fat suit soo funny. it was all going great got in to the party raring to go wooooo. after allot of pree lashing at the caravans we where well on our way to being very wasted. i got a drink and headed to the dance floor for some grooving oo yer. then i was picked up for a crowed surf and to my dismay was crowed surfed right out the front door by the bouncers CRAP. i was arguing with them for quite some time trying to work out how being trowen in the air and around the room was my fault. i didn't float up there. they where not having any of it arr well. i rocked the car park for a bit there where loads a people out there. i then headed back to a van party till the morning such crazy event loads fun and madness.

check the fat suit in back ground

Sunday it rained all night and was well muddy good for some mud surfing they did all the student light wind freestyle comps.

jem hall did some cool clinics had cool chest wig for fancy dress quote "don't be a passenger take control and drive your change" DO NOT PISS IN YA FUEL TANK EAT HEALTHY BROTHER" beginner to winner buy it .

i hitched a lift back with Southampton uni cheers dudes

hitch hiker terry the tramp

Posted: September 30th, 2008, 7:45pm CEST

all going well on our road trip been up in the yokshire dales for last week had some good wind and parties at freshers week in Leeds.
but on the way up to Leeds we stopped at McDonald services where we ordered our food and sat down to tuck in after windsurfing all day with out any lunch we where pretty hungry lads super sized our meal and took a seat. we started to tuck in and after a while we noticed quite a bedraggled looking fellow sitting few tables away he looked like hadn't seen a shower for few months or a razor/nail clippers he came over started chatting to Murray saunsers being a fredly fellow had a long convo with this homeless dude. feeling the can I have a lift question coming on tried to back out by changing our route 5 times 2 fake fone calls to no one saying we where in a rush.
he didn't care where we where going he just wanted to come with us by this time Murray could not think of any excuses I was watching murrays hands shaking in fear as he said just get in I will take you to next services as he walked to other side of the van me and Murray where arguing as to who had to drive who had to sit next to him I got shoved in van to sit next to this guy who smelled like alcohol and smelled quite potent of BO.
Murray derived at the speed of light to next services while the hitch hiker sucked his dirty thumb and rocked back and forth in crazy manner talking gibberish to us. as we got to services he then asked us to drive little farther and little farther after 5 times we had to stop just ask him to get out but he wouldn't he eventually got out of the van after Murray gave him a pound he had good pick of his nose and rolled a cigarette then he got out. we drove off fast as we could and sieged big sigh of relief as we where certain he wanted to mug us but we where fine terry has gone on his way so if anyone goes threw a services and you happen to see a tramp say hay to terry slip him a burger he might bless you with his presents and lighten your day.
Terry!!

MUZZA ON THE BBC

Posted: July 10th, 2008, 2:18pm CEST

befor the bbc rang I was down in Cornwall for the unofficial wave jam with the goya team. we windsurfed all day sat good fun jumping and partyed with thorpy Murray french and potter till 5 am and got woken up around 8 am for parking on double yellows. then went sailing all day I got call around 8 pm from the bbc I was nearly asleep and still at penzance .they said I needed to be in Bewl water on the east coast for 9am next morning for filming they would pay all expenses so thought would be great opportunity. so I left there and then on the most tired journey of my life energy drinks and drum and bass to keep me awake I arrived at 3 am in London crashed out at my girlfriend house woke up in my clothes had to rush straight there just arrived on time. I was still wiped and think could be quite a funny watch see what the editing will be like felt pretty monged out.
I was a judge on the program "help the teachers come home" where the teacher goes home for weekend to learn sport of there pupils then teachers are set challenges to see if they have learnt the sport. they passed the teacher had dun well despite the BBC asking me to fail her as need some one to be gunged with green slime she passed the show will be out in September on Saturday morning TV.

Its windy and wavey here on Maui its so consistent my body is aching all over. I have been on the rocks a few times. One time I was trying to show some one who has never sailed Hokipa, how to get out, all I showed them was how not to get out. There was a lull in wind wight water hit me i was straight on the rocks pretty funny apart from I broke my board its in the repair shop now but on the up side. I tried out the new 2009 Goya boards and they are awesome boards as always. I have been siling with all the guys from my local beach back home Jamie,Audsly, Hunty, Coxy, Dan and Wems so many people out here at the moment good fun. I am trying to upload some video footage now so hope to have a video of my trip to Maui soon I will keep you posted.
Scary surfing

Posted: April 17th, 2008, 1:31pm CEST

so I just moved in to new house with all the lads and it was a full moon and some one had the idea to go night surfing. so we went over to dumps near laparose for 10pm. god that is scariest thing ever. the waves where head high but you cant see the set till its on you. great fun! woo then the shark night fear thing god I had some adrenalin flowing. and a massive set came in over head high wiped us all out I had a hold down at night in the dark I didn't know which way was up but was such a rush I was shacking with fear and adrenalin. I chicken out and paddled in while guys stayed out for around an hour I think I lasted a good 30 mini not bad effort. midnight surfing .

THE WIND AND WAVES R BACK!!!

Posted: April 14th, 2008, 8:55am CEST

so finally the wind and waves are back and all the photo shoots are in full swing. today it was mast high Hokipa and day before was fun head height hope to find some pics from today. I have posted some from day before they where all taken by Steve Williams. The waves and wind look set in for a while with loads more to come with forecast looking good right in to next week. I hope my body can hold out.
So today it was my first run out this season in big swell at Hokipa. I left the beach hit massive lump of wight water and I got pushed straight back on to the rocks down wind with about 100 people watching great!!.
I think Hokipa has its own sense of humour as it always shows you who's boss. so as soon as it had dun that I climed back up the cliff and re rigged went back out for a awesome session with my best wave given to me by Keith Taboul sweet mast high clean ride cant wait for tomorrow woop! woop!

Maui Fishing 2007 story

Posted: April 7th, 2008, 11:00am CEST

in Maui 2007 I got asked to help out on a fishing trip which was great fun but, the thing was it came as a surprise. the nightbefore there was a beach party at our house I had a few to may bedvaragesand woke up in the morning In soaking wet clothes ..ummm ooo dear whathappened last night. Well what had happened I had passed out on a sunlounger and the guys thought it would be funny to anchor a kayak to thebeach put me on it and push me out to sea while I still stay un aware ofwhat's happening I suddenly stand to my feet fall like a log in to the oceanface first as I can imaging was very funny to all the guys standing on thebeach so if you have ever had an incident like that happen to you and you donot rember it you could empathizes with the state I was in next day and yesthis was the day someone offered to take me on a boat fishing for 21 hoursin the pacific ocean and yes I saw my breakfast on a number of occasionsbut we caught 700 pounds of fish and a prize 100pounder tuna it was the bestfishing trip the boat owner has ever had so I guess fish must likeregurgitated alcohol a great fun thing to do good life experience.
cape town worst week ever 2008

Posted: April 7th, 2008, 10:15am CEST

Worsed week was soo rubbish so our house gets burgled my lap top gets taken from my bed that i was sleeping in talk about shitting me up. When the police came we followed the foot prints of the bugalors down a back ally path behind our house for over 2 miles where they went in to a bush and the police man and I where there crouching down he said shh he gets his gun out at this point im absolutely bricking my self what the fuck am I going to do be a human shield hes got his gun out, we are about to go through this bush o my god this is insane, are they there ?
am I about to face our burglars in the face? they have all redy seen me in my full naked sleeping glory earlier that morning but what are they like … but nope its all clear we could see in the sand they had sorted through all our stuff proffits ticket stubs fanatic stickers on the ground. we followed the prints for about another 2 miles sherloc holms style then there tracks go on to a tarmac road all hope of finding our stuff is gone but for a while was like a episode of inspector cluso strange feeling following fresh path they had taken earlier that morning another strangely fun cape town experience.
so then cant I could not sail because I was thinking that could have been killed in my bed or following them crazy thoughts going round in my head as I am sailing out . I hit a wave get stuck in my foot strap and rip all the ligaments in my ankle end up in casulty for x rays just bad ligament rip out for over a two mounths could not walk soooooo shittt so I was cameraman fro next three weeks my worsed sa experience it was pritty crazy fun and bad all mixed in rollercoaster week dispite bad thing happening I think its all part of the experience good and bad times all makes great memories.
cape town 2007

Posted: April 7th, 2008, 10:12am CEST

My birthday cape town when I turned 18 and we had a massive fancy dress party invited every one to come to doodles a beach front bar pip pardoe dressed as peter pan me as a fairy all the boys as cow boys and proffits crew of 6 all Mexicans and kevin meveson in a spider man suit sized for a 6 year old and si and law and crew as American Indians and cowboys around 10 then after a few beverages decided to head home and take every one at the bar with us so we had 6 Mexicans 10 cowboys/ indiand fairytale characters bar goers and a super hero in our house just like a massive circus precession down road back to our house .with cars pulling up with 180” hand break parking from the Dutch boys. far to say it was getting rowdy our house had a sweet pool and hot tub it was the ideal party house but our land lord had had eneuf of this sort of thing happening, it had been dun a few nights before so she came down the road and was at our front gate where a drunk man fairy me and proffit dressed as a Mexican with sombreo,poncho and tash where trying to convince here there was no party going on inside her lovely house which she rented to us with no furniture in it apart from beds wise move as sure we would have lost a deposit if there was any in there . she stormed in past us to see spider man leaping from the roof some 8ft up in to the pool pulling the huge bomb with a massive cheer from all the fairy tale characters and cow boys far to say every one got moved on to carry the party on in the local night club cabañas great 18th never forget that was great fun.
