Fresh OD site and end of year THANKS.
I've just discovered Obsessive-Disorder have revamped their website. I'm fortunate enough and very privaleged to be apart of the OD surf team for 2013. OD are a cornish surf accesories brand who produce quality Deck pads, Leashes, Boardsocks, clothing and surf wax. I will be stoked to offer my feedback over 2013. I have recently been sent some great accessories from OD and cant wait to test all their gear out. Especially when I go to Mexico in 2 weeks!
I would also like to thank my sponsors Elusive and Diplock Phoenix Surfboards for some great designs.

Maldives 2012
Back in june/july the Elusive team hit up the Maldives on a 10 day voyage that was incredible. Greg Norman, Eoin MCcarthey Deering and myself had a fun trip organised by Nick Clewer (founder of Elusive). Below are some of my favourite snaps of the trip kindly taken by Zac Gibson.
The story is written by myself in wavelength magazine. So go check it out now, either on the shelves or subscribing online.
Hopefully the trip can be arranged again for next year as I'm already day dreaming about going back, what a place!

Elusive contest
Janine, Ester Spears and I made the relatively short Journey to South Wales over the weekend.
I competed in my sponser's contest, The Elusive Welsh Open.
As forecasted swell conditions were tiny and the decision was made prior to Saturday that they would complete the contest on that day as it would gradually die of flatness syndrome!
All in all it was a successful contest and I would like to take this opportunity to say thanks to Nick at Elusive for organising another Rad event.
Unfortunately I just missed out on a podium spot and finished 3rd in my semfinal heat. Conditions were really against all competitors involved apart from the groms!
My congratulations go to Mike Young who took out the open Men's final in the testing conditions.
I'm proper jealous as he won a trip for 2 to Portugal!
Hopefully I can improve my result for the next comp and also for the Elusive Welsh Open 2013!
Catch ya soon!

Survival
I bet anyone that looks on my page thought I gave up the old blogging malarky. That's not the case, I just had a long winter out of action due to injury, so for that reason and the surf being generally poor made no news for me!All is grand now though, I've been back in action nearly 3 weeks now and I couldn't be more stoked.Being out for that long really made me appreciate what I do on a daily basis, SURF!
Also, the fact that I have been extremely slack with updates is also the reason.Now its easter, the sun is out more and the waves were pumping last week I thought I should get a crack on.
The contest season is upon those who compete like myself are gearing up for it all. I have made a few dates of upcoming contests in my diary so I will keep you informed on where I am in the UK and how I get on. The first event of the year is being organised by my sponsor Elusive, the event will be held at Porthcawl beach in south Wales in 2 weeks time. So I will keep you informed on what goes down.
I picked up my first pair of surfplugs the other day, apparently the time was right for me to get plugs as my ears were lets just say a little clogged inside!
