Noosa Festival….what we got up to

The Noosa festival is over and after a few lazy days I’m feeling back to normal.  I was completely exhausted by the end, having surfed so much over the past few weeks and in need of a little time out of the water. The first event I entered was with my lovely friends, Gracie, Elsie … Continue reading »

This is my friend Ellia….she is an absolute legend. She lives next door to us in here in Australia and is a fantastic little surfer. She also shreds on her skateboard in her bikini, has a skate ramp in her garden and has a 6 pack to die for! She may be small but she … Continue reading »

Practice Time…Thank goodness the weekend is over!

Today I spent my morning at Noosa surfing one of my favourite points – Tea Trees.  It was great to get in the water, and with the weekend now behind us it was nice to escape the crowds and get a few waves all to myself.  With only 6 people in the water there were … Continue reading »

Sunshine and Showers…..Australia 2013

I’ve been in Australia for a couple weeks now, and between the showers the sun has been shining.

No snow for me….

Typical – whilst the rest of the country has a thick coating of snow, here in Cornwall we have all the  coldness but none of the fun stuff.  Being right on the coast and generally a couple of degrees warmer than most of the country because of the sea temp, it’s a pretty rare occurrence … Continue reading »

Boards Boards Boards……and more Boards!

I am so fortunate to have a fantastic quiver of surfboards, that unfortunately (living in a small house!) increases in size year to year…..Gradually taking over every room of my home there boards on the ceiling, hung on the wall, in the van, on the roof of the car. There’s always something special about each … Continue reading »

Australia bound (via California for a couple weeks) at the end of January!!! Really looking forward to seeing all my Australian friends (its been 2 years since I … Continue reading »

Christmas Day 2012

My second year for Christmas in Cornwall in a row….there’s something wrong with that! I definitely prefer this time of year somewhere a little more temperate. Especially when there’s not really any surf worth heading out on for Christmas Day here at home.   Today was dark and damp, with frequent heavy rain showers and … Continue reading »
