Its not very often a surfing shot makes it to the front page of Flickr explore these days (i dont think i’ve had one out of the 596 that have made it to explore) so i was really pleased to see “Life is just a series of peaks and troughs” make it there this week.

The shot was taken during the good swell on the 6th Feb 2010, you can see more from that day in the ‘You should’ve been here yesterday…’ blog

Life is just a series of peaks and troughs. Retro surf style

The new www.wightsurfhistory.co.uk website was launched on the 28th January 2010

I think like all sites it’s best considered a ‘work in progress’ and the look and feel may evolve as the content grows (its week one of a two year project) but i’m reasonably happy with this first stab at it, and I would love to hear your feedback on the design, technology or content, good or bad.

My ‘Happy urban-acid wonky storm love friday’ photo of storm waves at Freshwater Bay appears on the front page of the utata blog in the spotlight feature.
