unfourtunatly i havt been online much recently, however, still been quite busy on the water. the weather has been good in i have had a lot of time to practice my moves. evrything is starting to look a lot smother which is good. :) i have also been to the wave beach recently and was a nice change to the flat water. was a good day for doing some nice jumps. got to get back up there again soon. i have put together a short movie and hopefully it should bee upladed soon

heres a few pics one move is the intro to a flaka...the sequence is of a puneta (switch stance spock 540)

ho ho ho

So its almost christmas and for me santa has comea few days early....i have recently cracked my flat water shakas ( shov-it in to a flaka = shaka = very cool = happy phil) and my ponches are getting very close, so now im feeling very pleasd with myself. unfourtunatly we have had 5 days of light wind but the forecast for christmas eve onwards should be good all week. (hope i can still remember to windsurf) it should be a very merry christmas..... i have never been abroard during christmas and its a little surreal but at least i get to spend the day on the water.
video needs updating with a few of the new moves and should be online in the new year.

happy christmas everyone

dont go night windsurfing. you break your board

yup got a big old smash to the nose of my board. D'oh! was night windsurfing and managed to flonch right on to the beach (geinius). well i should hopefully have it fixed for tommorows wind.
have a few new pics for you guys and should hopefully get a movie on here soon once i have some more footage.

thurs 23rd oct

well since i wrote my last blog its been pretty windy so i have been on the water re-learning my flakas, and im happy to say that i think i have them now indefinitely, woohoo (i always managed to un -learn this move).
my switch has come along a bit more with me getting more of my switch stance moves.
its nice to be in a location like this were learning and honing your skills is soo easy. the conditions are perfect and very consistant so you can practice one day and then do the same the next day in the same conditions.

unfourtunatly i have not been to the wave (habibi) beach but it looks like i might have a chance soon. otherwise i might get a little too comfortable on the flat water.

here are some pics.

egypt El-Tur, awesome

Right then, so we have finally got our selfs out to egypt and are at ocean source el-tur. so far the first 2 days have been pretty windy. 

our first day we spent down at "habibi" wave beach for a nice session in the waves, and for the second day we have decided to do a bit of a photo shoot down at the point, a nice location to kick up some nice ramps. i have a few pics of some shove-its. there going pretty well next i need to lear how to tweek them so ill be putting in a lot of practice.

two days of no wind now but looks like after that it will be windy again.

D'oh!!

well then as you may assume from my last post that im in sunny egypt now. well im not! unfourtunatly XL going bust has thrown the plans back a while and should now be going on the 9th of oct. fingers crossed all will be ok then. dyeing to get on the water again.
