Happy New Year

Broad Bench sequence.The best wave we have in our humble little area {The Kingdom of Wessex}. This wave is off limits to surfers most of the time due to being "just" in a military firing range,It has been surfed since 1964 and i myself have had the best sessions of my life over the last 40 years at this spot,the next generation of surfers may have to be content with just watching this wave unless a compromise is reached with the m.o.d. lets hope for better access in 2011 ?.

Possibly the coolest shirt i've ever seen,that sums it all up, is Mike Short's ALOHA shirt.

Danny Magees Beast of a Bonzer! @ 9'4'' x 21 3/4'' x 3 5/16'' . This is the 4th one that resides in bournemouth,causing speculation that there is a new big wave spot on the Jurrasic coast?.I couldnt possibly confirm or deny this. Looks a bit laurel and hardy against his Mini Merk in the top photo! Both boards will be on display in Dans "Backyards" surf shop in Bournemouth if you want to see them in person.

Thats ''Frontiersman'' Tim Elsner from san clemente california about to blend in seemlessly with the local aquatic mammals on a surf trip to Alaska,now that is hardcore! below Tim is his Major Merk at 6'10'' the biggest merk i've seen! Tim is a super guy and bonzer afficianado,and board collector,Tim is reputed to own 95% of all the surfboards in san clemente?

It is written in the scriptures that when you have a red white and blue board you have to photograph them together!
