Camera Randoms

With all this snow outside and sub zero temperatures its hard not to think about the warm summer months. I've really broken my indestructible camera! But just for pure comedy I've just pulled these from the memory card, They're from Norway I think?

Urgh, maybe this is what broke the camera?

I want to be back in Norway!

Uh - pass, but i like it

How good's the Assassin?

I get a call from the guys @ Pyranha telling me to get myself to Hurley, it's on 3 and they want me to go paddle the new Molan. If you live in the UK you know that most of it looks like a Christmas card right now which means one thing it's freezing cold and the roads will be all clogged up with stupid people driving into each other / trees / other inanimate objects (delete as appropriate). Cutting a long rant short eventually arrive at Hurley as its getting dark with about 40 minutes to spare...

...one thing for it step out of the car into the Assassin. throw around a freestyle boat (which is mighty fine btw - go try one) in the the snow and ice for 40 minutes, step out of the Assassin get in the car. Perfect! One word of wisdom though holed jeans and a Howies tee don't make for good thermal layers!

On the way to the weir, yes that is snow & yes it is sunset.

Warm, dry and feeling a little bit like James Bond

Small winter session in Lyon – Hawaii sur Rhone

“Hawaii-sur-Rhone”, this wave didn’t work well for about a year! The reasons? Maybe it didn’t rain enough the past year or the dams have improved in controlling the water flow against floods. In fact, we don’t know…

It’s been two weeks that the water level jumps up and down with the rain and it’s always hard to catch the wave at its best level (working during the week or in the night).
Last week, I drove Lyon and managed to catch the wave between 1200 and 800 cumecs, which are the best!
A video is being made.

Hawai-sur-Rhone is not dead!!

Time to say goodbye...

To my surf boat. Although now classed a little 'Old Skool', it doesn't matter I am a little bit Old Skool!

She's looked after me well, making me strive for things I never dreamt possible.

We've shared the good and the bad times

But now I feel dirty, I'm moving on to a newer younger (& OK slightly more Chav) model

Fairwell good friend...

...Now bring on the Airtime ;o)
