Surf Trip Training Session - Low tide Croyde 28 Feb 09

Surfing and 'surf fitness training' now back in full swing given that things have 'finally' calmed down at work. First step was to book a much needed Surf-Trip with me ol'e mate Mark V - Canaries - 8 days from 28th March. Villa with own heated pool, Jacuzzi, 3 bedrooms, DVD, CD, BarBQ area etc etc .......Get in there !!!!!! :-)

Next was to get in the pool, do some weights, play 5 a side again, and get some much needed water-time. It's been some kinda workout / sport every days since 31 Jan 09 so far and im keeping it going right up to the surf trip.

Today I surfed low tide Croyde for 2 hrs - not huge but as the tide pushed in a nice pulse of swell arrived and there were good clean waves with the usual Croyde Power. Good fun and good prep for the trip. Mark is back 2-3 weekends before we go and we'll be putting in the time and getting into the 'flow' ready for some water water surfing - at last !

Nice !!!! ................

"JANUHAIRY" - Sponsored Beard Growing Fest !!

Well, given that I was going to be pretty much "living" at my desk at work for the whole of January, something had to be done to make it a bit of fun. The idea of "Januhairy" (based on the national "Movember" ) was invented - a sponsored NO SHAVE in aid of Prostate Cancer UK. 4 of us at work managed the whole month without a shave and £500 was raised for the charity.

Check out the face fuzz!!!!!!!! ha ha.

WORK, WORK, WORK, WORK, WORK ..... & a beard!!! :-)

JANUARY - MID FEBRUARY: 6 weeks of unrelenting work, then more work - 5o-60 hr weeks and no surfing.......knackered, not good!

MID FEBRUARY onwards ............... I have my life back - hoooorah :-) Lets surf.......
