Super Skeg Shred Sleds*
Residing in the house of the seamouse from left to right:6'6 Green rounded pin - Brought back from Australia this board doesn't see much action due to lacking the all to vital buoyancy needed for local waves. It's battered bruised and broken but like any old seadog it sits there telling tales of old victories while waiting for those special swells to come through.
6'2 Mother Ocean quad fish - fast, loose and loose loose loose! Surfing off the front foot this board and the seamouse clash most sessions. Time to part ways I think.
9'0 Billy Hamilton square tailed log - Super rare and won from a British surf magazine, this board is fun on a stick. Considering it's progressive shape it nose rides like a dream. Seamouse gets his slides on with a big flexy single fin and massive stupid grin.
1'2 Padmae cat - Very light and responsive although really hard to get in the water. A big fan of fish (she's checking out the rails in the photo) and lazing around in the sun.
6'0 Pinniped 'retro' fish - The first board shaped by the seamouse and easily the most ridden.
Now a complete beater after BA luggage staff ran over it on a return trip to Morocco it still goes like stink. It surfs like a hyperactive child running wild and constantly itching for more.
6'3 Jack of all trades - It's an egg...with the middle taken out... and the wide point taken back...a massive chunky V tail...a single fin box...and a quad setup...WTF. It shouldn't work but it does.
Just like Chuck Berry, it goes to show you never can tell.
3'2 Hot Buttered ten 90 - With the only local barrels being those in the shore dump its good to get some fins on, go prone and see how deep you can get.
*disclaimer: no skegs on the bodyboard.

Alaia Day
The waves were far from epic but it was one of the best sessions I've had in ages. The board is one of the fastest things I've ever ridden constantly flexing to match the shape of the wave.
If you get the chance try one, you'll be smiling all day.

T-MOE ON VBS
Without trying Mr Campbell is probably one of the biggest reasons for the recent shift in surfings attitude to surf craft and highlighting the amount of art in and around the 'sport'.
I'm a big fan.

With it already having a cult following I have to wonder what old designs are left out there to re-explore and which might become the next big thing?
The velo spoon maybe?

Talking Shop
Is it the same for you that when non surfers find out you surf they instantly want to know if you've seen 'Riding Giants'? I'm so tired of talking to people about Laird, Jaws and the death of Mark Foo that I'm seriously looking forward to 'Busting down the door' hitting the UK just for the conversation to change. I can just hear it now "you surf? I saw this film once,you ever hear of a guy called Gerry Lopez?...."

Surf Contests
Anyone remember the contest in 68 when batman beat joker in the 3rd round only to get knocked out by Dewey Weber in the 4th. Possibly the most exciting round of contest surfing ever.

Home and Away
The burnt down pier is one of my favorite places to surf. It gets blown out as soon as someone sneezes, rarely is rideable on anything but a log and can only be ridden mid to low tide.
It's locals only too, not that there's any bad vibes, just nowhere to park.
Home.In the land of little groundswell surfing rules turn themselves on their head.
Everyone prays for onshore winds (well cross onshore).
And offshore winds mean nothing but weeks of flatness.

Holywell bay, remote, quiet and just a few hours down the road.
Away.Morocco. Cheap to get to and cheap to live. The land of sweet mint tea and endless pointbreaks.

For those who are interested this has mainly consisted of:
Asking a very pretty girl to be my wife.
Walks in the country and tea in the manor house.
Surfing some tiny waves and loving every minute of it.
Jumping around at gigs.
Bit of drawing and other artistic grand plans.
Food and family.
Drinks with friends.
My first beard.

Venice Beach
Haven't posted for ages due to taking a fantastic trip to Venice. If you're thinking about going I recomend that you take with you the most amazing girl you've ever met.
Plenty of canals, bridges and old buildings as you'd expect. Some cool bars and restarants scattered about all over.
As it was the thing to do, we went into the famous harry's bar. It was crappy, full of tourists and I had the pleasure of paying £12 for a single rum and coke (thats $18US). Yowch!
As a welcome break from all the renaissance art the Guggenheim has some awesome modern works. Plus the Sculpture garden had us messing around for ages (mainly in and around the glass box pictured).You know Venice has a beach too? all but deserted with 1ft peelers! Who knows maybe someone even surfs it.

Hi-Shred
If you're like the seamouse, then you love sliding round on the ocean and people with crazy self expression in whatever form that may take. If that's the case you've probably heard of Alex Knost and his awesome shaper Robbie K. These cats are both in VBS's new show HI SHRED. Go look at it now with your filthy eyes.

European Fish Fry
Ended up missing the best of the fish fry but was having far to much fun teaching my girlfriend and her litle sister how to surf. Still what I did see was great, highlights for the girls was the pink resin swirl and glitter fins. I personally liked the Christenson take on the fish dont ride backside myth.
