Two men, one board... Smiles for days...

tonnta issue 14...

I was pleasantly surprised to recently receive a copy of the Irish surf rag "Tonnta" in the post care of deputy editor Shambles McGoldrick. I was even more stoked to find a selection of my pics from the 2012 Canarian season inside... Always nice to see unpublished pics get a run! 

Cheers Sham!

yellowbird memories... RT 192...

Soooo it's once again getting to that time of the year... The islands in the Atlantic start lighting up with swells and the bodyboarders of the world venture en masse to soak up the simple, slab filled lifestyle that this Spanish territory offers... Alas, 2013 will be the first time in five years that  I won't be part of the festivities... My only consolation at the moment lies with 2012 being the best year I'd had for waves by a long shot... Riptide featured a bunch of my words and images in their 192nd issue a while back covering what was surely one of the greatest bodyboarding contests of all time...

Jase Finlay uses his motorboat limbs to scoop into one of the bombs of the contest...

 If BP continues his Fronton form this year, he'll be tough to beat for the 2013 title... 10/10 picture perfect air forward...

 Hubb was flying high all contest long, but came unstuck at the hands of a hard charging Boetie, with a little help from mother nature...

 It was tough to see Wing lose the world title in the semis... Probably the only time a 19.25 out of 20 just isn't going to be enough...

After snatching the title from Hubb last year, PLC technically handed it back to him knocking Wing out in the semis... And came back to take the contest win in an absolutely epic final with an on fire Jared Houston...

 Three main players (Jeff, Wing and PLC) and a lot of big blue barrels...

 Change could definitely be on the way if BP takes another world title this year... Movement RIP...

Below, two of my favourite candid moments from the trip... Good times!
