Llyn Peninsula Surf Trip

Tucked away in an idyllic location on the Llyn Penninsula in North Wales, Tanrallt is a working farm which offers luxury bunkhouse accommodation with camping just one mile away from Porth Neigwl (Hells Mouth), the most renowned surfing beach in the area.

The Outer Hebrides are an archipelago of islands on the west coast of Scotland. Located in the path of the Gulf Stream, the warm, turquoise, unpolluted waters of the Atlantic give way to the Isle of Lewis’ 300+ beaches of beautifully clean, white sand, many rarely visited by people.

Looking to hire a yurt I came across a company (Stunning Tents) who hired out and sold amazing tents from all over the world. The tents were a bit pricey for us (unfortunately as they are gorgeous) but they had a cooking section with some really cool stuff.

I love surfing, camping, travel adventure and eating yummy food. I'm always on the look out for interesting recipes, especially for food outdoors, there is definately more to it than burgers on a barbie. The muurikka made me think of all of those things and I was sucked in and bought one...

ASR June 2007 Update

Cocoa Beach, Florida – ASR have been selected as part of the team to design and construct a multi-purpose reef at Cocoa Beach in Florida, which many will recognize as the hometown of 8x surfing world champion, Kelly Slater. Like many areas of east coast US, chronic erosion is a problem in this area. The primary aim of the project is coastal protection, and with the strong alongshore currents and often small wave climate, wave rotation will be an important aspect of the design. Also high on the list of objectives is the incorporation of surfing amenity into the structure.

Ours

Bra Boys surf a crazy slab in Australia called Ours. Waves break over the rocky headland which results in some heavy tubes and even heavier wipeouts. Surfers get ragdolled into the rocks, watch till the end to see the consequences. Not nice.

Happy New Year! Back in the office after a good break, with a whole lot of reef projects going on this year. At least 3 new reefs will be constructed this year (2 primarily for surfing and another as part of an integrated coastal protection strategy). The following update touches on some of the current projects underway. Surfing Magazine – Brain Gable’s recent article for Surfing Magazine provides a very good summary for the state of play of both surfing reefs and wave pools. Follow this link: surfingthemag.com/news

Historic footage of when surfers were real men!! Jeeze you had to have a big pair plums to take on Pipe with 25 kg board which had rails the same shape as bannanas and no leg rope...I not sure if this is footage is of the same day that the famous photo is taken of Da Bull standing looking out at pipe but it's classic all the same. If any one knows any more about this clip I'd love to hear about it.

A step by step guide on how to build your own balance board using materials from your local hardware store. By Kathy Westergaard, Encinitas, California. (Mar 2003). Unfortunately this isn't republished with permission, I've been trying for ages to get hold of Kathy to ask her but have had no luck. Send me a mail if you ever see this Kathy 'cause I think it's great.

Performing Monkeys is aimed at inspiring surfers in Britain & Ireland through high performance surfing in our own waves in all conditions. I wanted to show what is possible surfing in Britain and Ireland and show all the amazing aspects of surfing in this country - from huge airs to big wave surfing to Severn Bore river surfing. I also wanted to keep the film fun and easy to watch making sure the film doesn't take itself too seriously. I think the result is an exciting and fun film that inspires you to get out there.

Here at Surfcore we like to show case films that are produced in the UK. Tim Davies fits the bill perfectly. Based in Swansea, in the last two years he has produced three films cutting his teeth with underground break-outs Under 25 and Next Generation working with cinematographer Russel Taplin.
