Is it time to fill up the bath yet?

A trip to @thewave is very much needed right now… and whilst I know the water temp will drop dramatically anytime now, I’m feeing pretty easy knowing my @srface wetsuits will keep me toasty👌

Got the new Remix 4/3 on the way, which looks like the dream wetsuit. If you want one too, use GORDON10 for 10% off 😉.

Swell incoming? 👀

A few weeks ago, we were lucky enough to sample a little of what the swell season will hopefully bring… can’t wait for more 🤞

Wearing my @srface 3/2 Flex - what an epic suit! Super comfy and perfect fit. Love it. Get 10% off with GORDON10 👊

Is it wrong to daydream of winter?

This summer flat spell has been going on for way too long now… The sun is nice but I’d rather suit up and surf! I’ve got remote spots to explore.

This was shot all in one (long & cold) session, miles from nowhere.

My first comp in 5 years 😂

Was great to compete at the English Nationals last weekend. I didn’t really have any expectations on results, just wanted to go in, put a few scores in and challenge the new generation.

Although I lost in Rd2, I got myself a couple decent scores in Rd1, and was going through Rd2 up until a few seconds before the end of the heat.

Can’t wait to don the jersey again ✊

Heading to Cornwall this weekend for my first comp in about 5 years… 😅

I used the @surfingengland English Nationals as a target for me to get my ankle, and most importantly my surfing, back on track.

Waves looking a little small on the forecast but I can’t wait to see how things go.

A big thanks to @_joarmitage_ for the support and to all those who have helped me get to this point. You know who you are! 🤝 Let’s go…

When the wriggles are worth the tag.

Been testing boards lately and this one felt darn nice off the top 🤌 More on those soon…

Thanks for the kit hookup @danielsurfltd for the freshies and @_joarmitage_ for filming 🫶!

So amped on surfing at the moment ❤️‍🔥

Got some exciting things coming together. Might amount to absolutely nothing but the fire is burning so let’s go!!!

This was from (quite) a few years ago, perhaps the last time the QS came to Thurso. Waves were pumping. What’s the score 👀

Throwback Thursday 👦🏻

A mere 14 odd years ago at the ripe old age of 17-18. I’d say my hip hop phase was cooler than the youngsters these days.

The Wave - Expert Turns.

First-ever session at @thewave… It was good to get some repetition in and get a proper wave fix, although took a minute to understand the rhythm of the wave.

I caught about 20+ waves in the one hour - proper exhausting! Surfed my Quiver 5’11” performance shortboard, which felt a bit long in the pocket but looking back, wasn’t so bad for getting a bit of drive out my turns.

It’s nice to be able to analyse consistent clips so I can work on adjusting a few things next time.

The plan is to enter the @surfingengland Nationals in May 😂 see how I fare against the new kids on the block 🤷‍♂️ I miss competing so why the hell not. It’s a good target to push my ankle rehab as hard as I can too.

Surfed in my @srface 4/3 ECO with boots and gloves. Think the water was about 8.5-9 degrees and it felt just right.

Anyway, enjoy 👍

Had an epic time at @thewave the other day.

I had high expectations but I’m pretty sure our experience exceeded those. The fact that the wind played ball and the sun came out probably helped!

Plenty takeaways from our day trip but for now, here are just a few shots to wet the appetite.

Surfing a @hux_customs novelty prototype which went pretty well on the Advanced setting!

I’m heading to @thewave for the first time on Friday.

Not too sure why I’m so late to the party (I guess the ankle injury played a part) but I’m pretty darn hyped 👌

I’ll get to push my ankle a little bit further in a safe environment, try out different boards and more importantly, get the repetition my surfing needs to get back ( / closer) to normal.

Apparently the water there is 8.4 degrees, but I’m pretty confident both my @srface 4/3mm wetsuits will be perfect for the job. If ya fancy a discount, hit me up 😉

Good to link up with @jackmond93 on the FPV 🤝 Can’t wait to try that again!
