Kerry...krunking???

Not so good at these puns...ah well, exams are over! All went well, now it's time to hit the road again for the BWA event in Castlegregory, Co. Kerry! (http://www.britishwavesailingassociation.com/ireland.php)
Can't wait to get on the water again, looks like we could get some competition for Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday anyway. Hopefully I'll still remember how to sail! If not I'll just stick to shit-talking on the beach, always a solid back up plan. I'll get a video banged out from the week as well.

The future of house cleaning?

As you can probably tell there hasn't been much windsurfing going on here..just some youtubing. Why does exam time always coincide with the beautiful weather?! I got this link from www.kottke.org..

Landlubbing Part I

Here's part I of my two part mini-video series. This a shortened video version of my life I suppose and my regular trips from East to West. I go to college in Dublin-a far cry from my favourite wave spots on the west coast! But city life has its perks as well. Enjoy and let me know what you think.




ps: there's something up with the quality. I'll get on it.

My lovely brush

You may think a washing brush does not justify a blog post, but I do, because this is my blog. And this is an awesome brush. And when I'm not on the water or studying I go on the hunt for other things to occupy my fancy. Everyone should have one of these.

Tasty food

I was so proud of this dish I took a photo of it! A classic veggie curry. In fact it was so good I'm thinking of trying out a veggie diet for a while! If you've any nice recipes give me a shout!

Tasty Weekend

Got a couple of great days sailing in over the April bank holiday weekend. On Sunday Dan Gardner, Pat Kavanagh and myself trekked up to the Mullet and scored a sweet port-tack jumping session on 4.7ms. After a fun jump-off (probably more hardcore than the recent hookipa one....:O) and two trashed sails for me, we called it a day at 8pm! Gotta love these long evenings.
Monday brought bigger swell, and we were lured down south to our favourite wave spot. We were joined by none other than Nige 'the plumdog' plummer, Katie 'macattack' McAnena and Mark 'I eat loaf of bread in one sitting' Killeen. Dodgy nicknames but hey it's not like I made them up....Everyone was on 3/7m/4.2m/4.7ms and ripping! Logo-plus peelers for everyone! Well, maybe not quite, as there were 5 surfers and 4 kitesurfers out as well as us, so the queuing system came into place. One kiter's lines broke and had to be rescued by the coastguard. Luckily he had friends on the shore who made the call early and all was well once again. Wash it all down with a pot of tea in Danny Mac's to cap off the weekend, nothing like it!
