BACK TO VASS!!!

Well.... its been a few years since I was working on the beach for 'Club Vass' but this summer I will be heading back.

Looking forward to seeing everyone and spending some time back on the water.

With the original owners, Tony and Roger taking the wheel once again, it sure to be an epic season!!

2011 SUNWISE DELIVERY!!

2011 SUNWISE DELIVERY!!

Just received a batch of new sunnies from Sunwise. They have some really sick designs for this season.

Quite strange getting sunnies in the middle of a UK winter, especially as Ive not been on the water for some time. Plans for 2011 already going ahead and so should be back on the water very soon!!!

Think I might also need a bigger shelf!!!

My new video!!

Its been a while and not had much going on with windsurfing due to working in the middle of the UK!!!

Managed to get out to Dahab for several weeks and scored some decent wind.

"Got myself a new van!!!!"

After a long period of searching I have finally found a decent surf wagon!!

Well chuffed as I didn't really want to be a white van man.

I can now get to the coast with all my surf boards and am no longer 'land locked'!!

woop!!

I hope to get some more surf/windsurf video footage and pics asap!!

Snowboarding!!!!

Been back a week or so now and have uploaded some pics from the holiday!!!

It was awesome........my first snowboarding holiday.

Went with Anna to Soll in Austria and scored some really nice conditions.

Gutted to come home after the week out there, although I reckon my body needed a break after hitting it hard every day.

I had my new Sunwise (www.sunwise.co.uk) sunglasses with me. The new 2010 models are pimping so check them out.!!!

1st place at the Gerroa event!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, 1st place at the Gerroa event!! totally stoked.

It was a great weekend for me and I was really happy with my wave sailing. I was really focusing on my positioning and wave selection during the final and managed to get some decent rides despite the lighter conditions.

"Steve-O Hackey employed some clever contest strategy to keep the attention of the judges. Although Dan was slightly ahead on waveriding, Steve pulled off more complex freestyle on the wave and combined it a clean Ponch off a lucky gust to take the win in the first expression session."

Sadly I won't be around for the next event as I'm flying back to the UK, but I could have been sure of an end of season podium finish.!! maybe next time!!!!!

Still waiting for event pics.............pics above courtesy of 'Laura slater photography'.

2nd place at the NSW Wave sailing event!!

It was an awesome weekend of wind here in Sydney. The competition was held down in Gerroa (about 2 hours south of the city) which is an epic down the line spot.

The waves were lacking but the wind was firing and so thats all we needed for the event to run. 

I sailed quite well, landing some big scoring moves. I was up against the Australian national champion and so was pleased to finish in 2nd place overall in the pro's.

The next event is in two weeks and so I'm hoping for another good result.

I have been here in Sydney for 6 weeks now and its been windy about 90% of the time!!!!!!!!!
