Early summer 2015

Recent Months

It has been while since I uploaded a blog post, So i do apologise and hope to get back into the swing of uploading regularly again,

So in the post I will just talk about the last few months and what I have gotten up too !

I finished my school year on the 14th of May !

My parents and I went to Southwold, England to visit other family members but Dad and I spending a week off the water wasn't good ? We found a way around this problem by borrowing a blow up Paddle board to paddle and explore all of the rivers and estuaries around where we stayed

I have had a lots of sailing and very little surfing over this past month,We also spent quite a lot of time filming our sailing, I will include the final edit in my next Blog Post, But for now here is one wave that Niall (My Dad) and I had together, Who do you think gets the better wave ? Let us know who you think (I am the one further down the line)

I am delighted to announce that I have gotten a new Wetsuit Sponsorship from O'Neill recently ! I am super excited to represent such a big brand like O'Neill.
This is one of my new suites, Im pretty sure its safe to say I won't be missed on the water !

Recently I booked my tickets and accommodation for me to go to Tenerife for 3 weeks ! I did the same last year but only for 2 weeks, I stayed With Aleksy Gayda, Jony Price and Ben Page it was an epic experience as I got to do lots of sailing and I hope for much of the Same this year around ! I go on the 23rd of July.

I will also be in Tenerife to compete on the PWA youths event at Cabezo, I really look forward to doing it again ! Last year it was fantastic experience, Hoping to better my result of last year which was 6th place !

Spring 2016

Surf Trip Clare On the 13th of April, Myself and my parents traveled to Clare for a weekend of surfing as there was a Junior National Surf Comp but I also knew Jamie O'Brien was in Clare filming new "Who Is JOB 6.0". A few days before I got a message from JOB on snapchat,I was over the moon getting a reply from him, and that made me super excited for the weekend ahead. I didn't think I would get to see him I was just excited by the fact i was even in the same country as JOB seeing as that he is my favourite surfer. Once we arrived it was pumping so I jumped straight into the water, And once returning back to the beach my Mom said "Jamie O'Brien was here 5 minutes ago" I didn't believe mom at first,I didn't want to believe I had missed the chance to see him ! Later on that day I went searching for Surf with Tom Knox and two other friends and as we were getting close to the surf spot we were over taken by this Red Bull Van, I instantly ...

Summer 2016

Summer 2016 This summer has been a very good summer for me, In Between working at the beach For Jamie Knox Watersports I got some pretty nice sailing at home not that much of it but some good fun sessions, I also went to Pozo in Gran Canaria for my first time for some jumping training, and then I returned to Tenerife for more onshore training ad for the PWA Event at Cabezo. In this blog I'll talk about my first experiences at Pozo and how Tenerife went for me. Sticking up my new 2016 GA Sails Pozo Pozo was my first excursion of the year, I went the week after I finished school. I traveled by myself I planned on renting kit in Pozo, I flew from Dublin to Gran Canaria which again is the typical very boring and uncomfortable trip to the Canarias ! For the first 2 nights I had an AirBnb appartment to myself which was nice (Ps. Thanks Adam Lewis for teaching me how to use a gass cooker) and then for the other 4 days staying at the Windsurfing Hostel. Not a bad view from ...

Quatro Super Mini 83 Mini

Quatro Super Mini 83 Mini first impressions Rik from zero gravity was over here for some sailing with board in his van. It seamed rude to let him talk it home, so it ours now. As a rule I tend to choose the board within a range which are the most suited to good DTL conditions but with Finn spending more time in onshore spots and anything which helps with getting going fast has to be of interest. So far only it sailed 4 times. 3 times in waves and once on flat water. Some 5.4 weather but mostly 4.7 in head high waves, side shore and onshore . I bought it as a crappy conditions/ onshore/ jump board which will get sailed in proper ground swell too. It's a sweet board very quick to get going and fast while still having a good front side turn. In average south coast / Tenerife conditions it is great board because Super quick to get going Jumps really well feeling light and small in the air. Points really high. ...
