24 hour surf trip

having a few minature trips before summer travelling extravaganza, I headed down to devon with uni friends after exams, took Joe's 7 foot board, waves were ok but the tide had just gone out and I didn't stand up...but still, didn't get hit over the head with the board which has got to be good

Joe and I are heading to devon or to wales or somewhere in a couple of weeks for a van trip

Then I am hitting Egypt for a week's kitesurf action over easter, woop!

mast extension

Joe bought me a present, which I could share with him, and he told me I had to guess what it was...the only clues I was given was
''it is cold to the touch''
and
''it is smaller than a mountain board''

after considering the options (ice cream, a fish, an ice cube to name some of the logical explanations) I guessed correctly, so I now own my first piece of kit!

We Have Definate Transport

My dad has agreed to sell me his long wheel base high top transit van, this will be a wagon of choice for this venture.

So hopefully I will spend some exiting days building it to hold all my stuff I have been slowly Hording.
