The latest outing with the waterproof camera. Only managed to get one of harry racing along on his ski. Next time out i will lower the view of the camera. Check out the last clip, a punch out under the lip.

Here are the quarters from the world cup in 2006. It was the first time that id seen 2 man heats and it worked real well. Check out jonnys waves, he was on fire in this heat. I was sitting in the channel watching and i saw him do a super paddle out take off, didnt get it on the camera though.

Here are 2 waves filmed from both the head camera and a shore camera. The head camera needed to be pointed a little further down the line for a better view. The two perspectives of the same wave look nothing like each other, interesting. The quality of this video is poor, i guess i need to work on the settings to improve it.

With the severe lack of surf recently, you have to take every pocket of swell that comes your way. Here's some photos from a heavy beachbreak in Donegal I managed to catch a couple of weeks ago. G click on image for slideshow

An early start on Friday morning started the European championships. A half six flight out of Dublin airport left us all wanting a good surf. We drove along the coast in hope of finding some surfable waves but strong winds and dumpy surf forced us onto Mundaka. As we waited for the tide to drop on Saturday morning we saw the surf starting to peel on the main break but throughout the day the surf

Sunday started with a 9am meeting where it was decided that Bakio would be the competition site for the day, so after getting boats onto the car and everything packed up we headed over the mountain to see what the conditions were like. There was a strong cross – onshore breeze blowing at Bakio and the sun from Saturday had been replaced by clouds, so not much opportunity to top up the tan

Everyone woke early on Saturday with fingers crossed that the conditions would be the same as Friday. After a meeting in the square at 9am the call was made to meet at the judging site in Mundaka for 12 when the competition would start after the tide dropped. The conditions first thing in the morning were ok, but the swell dropped as forecast and by lunchtime the wave was inconsistent with

It was an early start all round as the 2 Kings and I left Derry and Jonny and Andy left Portrush before midnight on Thursday for the drive to Dublin to catch the 6am flight to Santander. After a traffic free drive we checked the boats in and with no hassles at all found ourselves on our way to Mundaka. After arriving in Santander we decided to have a look at some of the beaches around the coast

Up again this morning at earlier than seven and on the road by half- big day with a new competition between the top 4 teams all gunning for top spot. Ups and downs with firsts and 4ths took it down to the wire with our second count back of the contest to go in our favour left us in second place with the basques as champions and the jerseys and english in third and 4th respectively.
