HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!

Well I hope you all have a great Christmas and that Santa brings you all that you asked for! I will be open between crimbo and new year so pop in and say hello, or i will see you in the water, great chart and some good waves coming, so get your last surf of 2010 in!

HILLS AND THRILLS.....

So after the park building we decided to hit the mountains. The snow had been falling and now it was bluebird. A motley crew was formed of myself, Gaz, J-Dub, Fox and Spout. It was a spot they had been before and a promise of a short hike for rich rewards was made. As you can see from the vid, we did pretty well......apart from me, still got the bruises!!!!

MAKING THE MOST OF THE SNOW!

Well they forcast some good snow, and it came. We spent a couple of days getting the site ready for the snow, built in a small rail and also a tiny jump. Was only going to work if we got the snow, and being in Abersoch it is rare to get any decent snow.
But on the first day of snow there was enough to ride, and then by the second day we had more than enough.
with a bit of piste bashing from the resident park maintenance staff, John and Dan, we were ready to go.
It was very satisfying riding your own private park, and now with no more snow forcast its time to make the most of it!!
There was a few good stacks on the test runs but by the end of the day it was smiles all round, even time for a quick cup of tea on the hill!!

History of the wetsuit, a bit of an insight into the mind of Jack O'neill

Will there be any surf ever again?

Well its a good question, some would say no, but i believe in being posistive. I am hoping we may get something worth riding this saturday coming, wind could be a bit dodgy but it may be offshore on some beaches.
These guys have a bit of swell coming our way for early next week, and hopefully that will break this cycle of easterly winds and no waves.

In the meantime its mind surfing and watching surf dvd's, which always winds me up.

If you are down this weekend on a hope of a splash then pop in and say hello!
