Coastal Cruise


The lineups are packed with miscellaneous surf-craft, and the waves are rarely solid, but by January summer is sorely missed by surfers in the Northern latitudes. This clip follows Gordon Fontaine as he cruises through France and Spain, evoking sweet memories for any surfer who’s taken a European road trip during the sun-soaked season.

Saltburn Pier


We scored amazing little waves in Saltburn for the UK Pro Surf Tour contest. I came 3rd in the final and am now closer to number 1 on the UKPSA Rankings. Check out the highlights here: https://vimeo.com/77561365

Just like in Bournemouth or Boscombe, Saltburn has a pier, and god knows how much I love shooting the pier... Here's a clip of me surfing through it twice on the same wave. Shot on Tomas Hein's GoPro 3 Black Edition. Follow him on his photographic project about British Surfing named: 'Road to nowhere'
