Splash SurfBlog

Well as always I’m late getting the blog up to date so I’ll stick in the post from yesterday.. Another grey miserable rainy misty day so no change there then.. got a phone call from Ash (Lumox’s) to say he’d tried everywhere and the meor was the only place working..

We eventually decided to take a flying trip over and see what was happening even though we knew the tide was dropping out to low and with the rain and wind I wouldn’t be able to shoot much closer than the top by the van.. well it was worse than I thought.. the light was so low that it was pretty much certain we were just going to get Shite or worse lol.

I set up the big brolly on the wall and lashed it to the public bench behind me to keep it down in the wind and set up the tripod underneath it to see what (if anything) we could get.

The mist was a bit thick making things even more difficult but Tom Harper was out there having a few nice waves along with team Rider Bertie Basset himself on the licorice allsorts board Ash Lawton

Tom Harper

Well it didn’t, for the whole afternoon it rained and blew and rained some more.. in the end the light got so bad that I had to give up as everything was blurring with low light and grainy images don’t make good images.. Just hung around long enough for Ashley to get dressed and collect some new stickers from the van for his new board and catch a few more waves from Tom Harper..

Speaking of  Tom’s was that Joe I saw out there just before packing in and if so is that a new portrait of Tom on your board?.. great to see the loyalty and remembrance in Joe taking Tom out surfing with him all the time..

Hope you enjoyed the blog.. I got wet writing it lol…

catch ya soon.. when the rain stops
