Twice in a Day

After what feels like an age without any surf, I manage to get into the sea twice today, an early morning (not quite a dawnie) and a sunset sesh too. Weather was really nice, warm - for Scotland with a slight crosswind. Although I'm not managing to surf as regularly as i would like at the moment, I am starting to connect with my board. Already I am moving faster and more smoothly, allowing me to make the most of the speed generated before the wave peters out. I think it will be quite interesting when I ride my mini-mal again, I hope I will find that I surf a lot better on it.

Anyway, below are 4 pictures that I took during the day...







My local may not have the biggest waves in the country, but they are pretty at times.















Not mine unfortunately, but nice to see one this far north!!
















The Green Fish and a bit of Photoshop.












A peaceful end to a beautiful day.

Signs of Life

Yes, I'm still here, but unfortunately there has been very little to write about. I was hoping to make the journey up to Thurso for the O'neill Highland Open, but a bad weather forecast and the fuel strike put me off using 350 miles worth of petrol when I didn't really need to. I know now obviously that the weather was great and the fuel strike never really had that much of an impact.....

It has been really flat here since my last surf, either that or I have been away. I have just checked the forecasts now and there are no swell predictions for at least another week. The isobar charts show a possible low pressure moving towards Norway so that might help. I am away working all next week, far from the coast, so some waves anytime after the 17th May will be fine.

Hopefully my next post will be filled with phots and tell of great surfing !!
