A quiver for Cloudbreak and fiji

[supuk]

Got the boards all done just in time to pack them and make the 36hours transit to Fiji prity much intact. Tock the 7'10 out yesterday at namotu lefts yesterday morning the cloud break in the afternoon it wasn't huge but still nice and the board felt good. Unfortunately it's near flat today but have a big swell forecast for the next few days.

Sory no action shot but been having a great time surfing. I have been using the 7'10 when it's been clean and the 8'3 when it's been bumpy or windy which is fairly often. The boards have been going well and feel realy nice and locked in on the steep faces inspiring confidence. We have been surfing namotou lefts restraints and Cloudbreak, had a realy fun one yesterday there! We were also treated to a watching a few waves by some guy called Kelly? Allso bumped into Bob Hurly while I was out back which was cool.

Nice work supuk.

I wish the UK weather wasn't cold wet and windy for about 6 months a year...it is so much harder to stay fit when the air freezes your lungs, you wear 5mm of rubber, the wind is often too strong and wrong direction to paddle, the surf is crappy, and rain soaks everything you own and the cold means it doesn't dry out. I look at these pics of Fiji and wonder how much healthier I'd be living in that environment... so hats off to the Brits (and other cold water countries) for competing at the ISA Worlds against teams who can train in boardshorts every day of the year, and have access to consistent quality waves. I doubt that they really appreciate how lucky they are.
