What a weekend!

Last week everyone was starting to get a little excited about the prospect of pumping surf at the weekend. With a 950 dartboard like low building it was clear that it was going to be big.
The forecast held true and with a bit of north in the wind, it ruled out many more sheltered spots. There were plenty of excuses why people couldn't surf, injury this, gotta paint that, cor it's a bit cold etc.
Anyway, Ramon and I had some solid, fun and very long waves at Saunton, whilst Robinson and Ash, scored the point firing. Below Croyde much heavier and bigger than it looks in the photo, one taker and 45mins of paddling later he was still only chest deep.Later that evening, we sunk a few pints in the Aggi. All was going well pool wise until Ash 8 balled me. Gutted!
Sunday rolled on, with the next pulse of swell forecast just as the tide dropped nicely. Epic waves had by all, uncrowded and super fun. See below!

Moroc'n'Roll

Xmas this year was spent out in Africa. Morocco was the country of choice. With EasyJet now flying direct to Agadir, there were plenty of familar faces out in the line up over there.
It was my third trip to Tagazhout, a great place with countless epic right hand points.
Keep your eyes peeled for some words about the trip in the next issue of Corduroy Lines magazine - http://www.corduroylines.com/
