I’m currently in Ireland, with my family and a big crew from the UK on a promotional surfing trip, working on this, the last blog entry of our Euro-summer. (Photos by Finley Wegener.)
And so to the highlight of my European Tour…
It’s Tuesday morning and I am still in shock from the weekend’s series of events. Fortunately I am relaxing in the Brea Vean Surf House and have time to decompress.
I’m bombing down the A38 at 7am, not a car in sight and the hoards of grockle traffic heading our way probably delayed by the inevitable tailback around Brizzle.
It’s stupidly early and I am NOT a morning person.
My slight obsession with the wonderful world of wooden surf craft has been going on for a few years now.
Alaia guru Tom Wegener is coming to Europe for a series of one-day workshops. Here’s your chance to meet the man himself and shape your very own genuine Wegener alaia…
The Spanish and French sections of our European tour are coming to an end… Matt and I have made a lot of boards and a lot of friends.
Late nights! The Spanish do not sleep much. The first night of the festival the BBQ started at 10pm and the movies followed running into to the next morning.
We’re getting from great waves over here in Spain. We’re currently on our way to the Salinas Surf Festival, meeting lots of people along the way and turning them onto the alaia. These photos of Tuesday’s session come courtesy of my friend Willy Uribe.
One of the most amazing bonuses of making these boards is that I get to meet (sometimes virtually, over email) the most incredible people, each of them stoked on life and the rush they get from surfing.
