Play that Funky SUP – Stand up paddle surfing on the Isle of Wight
A slightly different view of Stand up paddle surfing on the Isle of Wight. Shot with the 500mm sigma zoon lens, this tight crop makes me think of playing funky bass guitar for some reason, and i really like the bokeh caused by the light on the breaking wave. Play that Funky SUP – Stand [...]

Isle of Wight Water Sports
It’s pouring down with rain here again this morning so i’m forced to dig out a bit of sunshine and Isle of Wight Water Sports from the archives. I found a few more different views of stand-up-paddle boarding in Compton Bay from that time when the sun was shining (seems like longer than a few weeks [...]
One man and his gull – Stand up Paddle Surfing
Another from the Stand up Paddle Surfing (SUP) shoot at Compton Bay, Isle of Wight, on a gloriously sunny and warm spring evening. Using the sigma 50-500mm telephoto lens and deliberately shot into the sun for a silhouette and maximum shimmering sea. It was then edited up into a Vertorama (vertical panorama), and finished off using [...]
We are sailing (well stand up paddle boarding actually)
A bit more stand up paddle boarding (SUP) action from Compton Bay, Isle of Wight, on a gloriously sunny and warm spring evening last week. Bit of luck getting the yacht in the background! Deliberately shot into the sun for a silhouette and maximum shimmering sea, and then edited up into a Vertical panorama, and [...]
On golden pond ( SUP on the Isle of Wight )

Using the Sigma 50-500mm I deliberately shot it into the sun for a silhouette and maximum shimmering sea effect. I then edited up into a Vertorama, and finally used [...]
The swell that kept on coming…
So, its five days and counting now that this spring swell has hung around, and thats pretty good going for the south coast, especially accompanied by offshore winds. Only had time for a really quick surf at lunchtime, and no photos either, but i did get back in the evening to shoot a few SUP’s [...]

Following up on the theme of my last surf blog, where i’d missed out on the good swell at Freshwater Bay because i had to stay in and have my broadband line fixed. This time i’m happy to write about the waves I did get on a glorious days surfing at Compton Bay, on the [...]
“I am just going in for a surf and may be some time” Isle of Wight Surfer – Ian Pacey
Deliberate pun on the old “Scott of the Antarctic” quote here. This is my mate and Isle of Wight Surfer – Ian Pacey, going in for a surf at Compton Bay back in 2009. I always meant to post this shot the day he headed off on his travels (he went round the world surfing for [...]
The Surf on the Isle of Wight is head high (if you squat right down)
To be honest, the Surf on the Isle of Wight is probably not even that big today, but i’m just daydreaming of summer days at the beach and found this old shot of longboarding a lovely little wave at Compton Bay from back in 2009. Real waves on their way though, there’s a nice big deep [...]
