Trailer trash tash!
Beej and I have been growing some nasty facial hair, here’s mine before the trim. I just had to take it off as every time I walked into a shop and spoke to a member of the public I started smirking!

Gnarly Big Sur and the super-scenic route
Our route from just south of Carmel to Pismo today took us on a massive diversion as Highway 1 was closed just south of Gorda (we presume due to rockslides). We got behind the wheel at 9.30 and rocked up in Pismo at about 4pm, pretty much solid driving all the way, and some pretty …
Big Sur RV chillout
Last night we drove south from Santa Cruz to just past Carmel-By-The-Sea to the top end of Big Sur. This was our roadside view from the RV! California dreaming!
BST09: Return to Brazil
Rose and I will be heading off to Brazil next month (February 2009) to escape the cold and dark English winter and trade it in for some Brazilian sunshine. I last went to Brazil (Rio and Salvador) back in April 2007 for 2 months. I had a great time and it definitely whet my appetite …

Surfing East Runton in December? You bet!
After a week’s worth of debating over whether we could handle the cold, and carefully watching the charts, Deano and I decided we’d make the trip up to Norfolk for what will probably be the last surf of the year. We set the alarm for 6am and got the quiver ready and then packed up …
Big swells hit up the west coast of Ireland
It certainly has been a wet and windy past few weeks here in Blighty/Ireland. With record waves reaching in the region of 57ft (yep someone did have the balls to ride it – no not me), the UK/Ireland has been getting a battering. Below are a few pictures that were taken by folks on the …
Major storm hitting the West Coast this weekend
There is a major low pressure storm coming in this weekend, unfortunately the winds look to be completely in the wrong direction, but the swell looks to be crazy, check the charts below for Newquay for example. If you can find shelter from the wind, then you should get some pretty large rides I would …
Return of the Crayon Boardriders
Yep we came, we surfed and we conquered. Surfing in Fuerte’ was awesome, check out the pics on Flickr, there’s a little taster below for starters.
Going, going, gone…
Yep we’ve got 2 hours left of work and we are off. Fuerte’ here we come, surf, sand, sun and well for the other two boys, maybe some action, but I am on best behaviour, all good! Boas ondas!
