QPR Monday Blues, originally uploaded by s0ulsurfing. First day out with the camera in 2012 and a trip to my old home to catch some winter waves. Bit of a paddle out if you fancied a surf on this particular day at Freshwater Bay!

Returning to a familiar theme for this blog, and probably for most surfers too, the old ‘you should have been here yesterday’ routine. Over the last 20 years I’ve built my life next to the sea and the West Wight in particular, with the simple (and now not so secret) aim of leading a quiet [...]

Some great GoPro HD footage from Compton Bay on Sunday the 20th of February 2011. Thanks to Nigel Bulloch for his camera, editing patience and skills.

Seems like every week since that first september swell arrived here on the isle of wight that we’ve been blessed with decent waves, and I think i’ve been spoilt this autumn by an unusually high number of days with good surfing conditions.

September Swells on the IOW, looks can be deceiving (1 of 2), originally uploaded by s0ulsurfing. Fingers crossed we have more waves on the way this weekend, so i’m clearing out the archives in expectation of them.
