moz' winning ways...

If you follow bodyboarding you may know that Amaury Lavernhe recently won the 6 star GQS Antofagasta contest in Chile, in the lead up to the IBA comp at Arica. Check out a full rundown here.

I had the pleasure of staying with Moz in the Canaries last year and enjoyed some ace sessions in the surf, as well as some quality times on land. Congrats mate and good luck for Arica! Woop!

You can check out some of Moz' Arican exploits from last year here...

The later arrival of Family Rees meant that Christmas was conducted all over again for the benefit of Ella Bella... Think anyone was mad about that? Of course not! x

Cute as a button...

One of my most memorable Christmas' of all time was the year my brother asked for a Commodore 64 computer... Our excitement before the big day was such that we scoured the house searching and eventually found the box in hiding... So much for the allusion of Snata Claus... Needless to say Ma and Pa were not too pleased to find us in the living room at 5am in the morning having opened, setup and started to play on our new toy! Classic memories...
As the years pass, I find myself far more excited about giving gifts than receiving them, especially when kids are involved... This Higgins Family Christmas was definitely a fun filled one on the gift front, bringing out childhood excitement in everyone! x

 What's in that big box?!

 It's a bike!

 A terrific tree...

 And what lies beneath...

Taking it back a few months... Last Christmas was my fourth on the trot spent in south west Cornwall, and my third in a row with the decidedly delightful Higgins family... Add to the festive celebrations a Tom Bawcocks anniversary, a junior Pyrah birthday, a Boxing Day Johns extravaganza, a scattering of winter waves and a decadent New Years eve in Porthgwarra and you realise why it's called the silly season... Here's instalment one...

Christmas day arrived in a rather grey and wet fashion. Damp spirits, however, were nowhere to be seen at the annual Sennen Cove Christmas Swim... Lucy was the only one of us brave enough to tackle the wintery waves, but was joined by hundreds of others kicking this festivus off to a fresh start!

 It's CHRISTMAAAAAAS!

I'll race you to the ten degree water!

 Santa and his elves made an appearance...

 Star jumps to keep warm...

 Happy Higgins...

ASL travel bible...

Australia's Surfing Life magazine has been around for almost thirty years and, in that time, has cemented its place in the scene by providing a monthly showcase of Australia's best surfing images alongside what has become a trademark writing style. 

Their annual travel bible is always worth a read, whether for information and inspiration for your next trip, or simply to daydream about all the exotic exploration there is to do in this world.

I was stoked to have a bunch of images used in this years bible from my European adventures in the last five years or so (Cheers Naw!) Needless to say it brought back a few memories and really reminded me both how much I've seen, but also how much there is left to see! Fly my pretties, FLY!

Euro lovin' from Germany to the UK, the Canaries to Ireland...

An Austrian hipnecky and some Polish parrots...

puerto rican treat...

Morning routine care of the ever proud Puerto Rican and generally generous lovely lady, Ms Natasha Sagardia... Seeing how she's recently garnered a new sponsor in the form of a Puerto Rican beer company, maybe this year's Canarian catch up will involve a six pack?!

herman the friendship cake...

Our friend Emily visited a couple of weeks ago and brought us round some cake, as well as some mix to create our own... Though in the end we didn't continue the chain of Hermans, i did end up making three different cakes... One for our house, one for Lucy's workmates, and one for the birthday of Vinnie Pyrah, head of comedy...

Herman as Pacman...

Nom, nom, nom...

blackheath wanderers...

My girl Lucy absolutely loves netball, and has found herself an ace group of girls to play with in our local area, the Blackheath Wanderers... I went along a couple of weeks back to check out their skills, support the team and take a few pics with the ol' Xpan, on what was an unseasonally warm March day... Lovely lovely Lewisham...

 Deeee fence!

GOAL!
