A couple weeks ago............. when there actually were waves.
I went down for little logging sesh at Saunton, with my mate Ben Haworth.
We met local snapper, Jamie Bott and he said he'd pop in and get a few shots.
The swell was small and really week, but at least it was clean.

Here's a few shots we got.

Just over a year ago now, I was lucky enough to be added to the team down at Black + White.
Paul Waters is a top guy who shapes amazing boards.

Down End Point - Jan 09

A chilly day with some great waves. I'd surfed the beaches all day and decide to go for a few fun waves on the point on a little twinny. The offshores were pretty strong and here's a couple waves that Karma got on film......

BLU Saunton - May 2009

The British Longboard Tour hit Saunton, North Devon on the 9th and 10th of May 2009.

I had been looking forward to this contest as it gave me the chance to compete against the top the Longboarders in Britain, at my homebreak.

We were met with typical contest conditions. 2ft onshore with a dropping tide for the 1st round heats. I successfuly made it through this round and by the time the 1/4 finals were on, the surf picked up with the push, to good 3ft. This heat went well for me and so it was on to the semi's. The surf was now cooking with 4-5 foot sets pulsing through, but the contest had to be postponed to the sunday due to the setting sun blinding the judges.

I awoke the next morning to blue sky and a gentle offshore breeze. Straight to the beach, to see the swell from yesterday had dropped off. However a fun glassy 2 foot remained. The semi was a toughly fought affair, with everyone getting good waves. I finished 3rd in it, which halted my proceedings in the comp, but gave me a 5th place finish overall.

The final was 1. Ben Skinner 2. Ben Howarth 3. Elliot Dudley 4.Ben Howey

I received the Shane Hickman Memorial Trophy, for being the highest Hotdogger in the contest.

A good weekend!
