I’m currently in Ireland, with my family and a big crew from the UK on a promotional surfing trip, working on this, the last blog entry of our Euro-summer. (Photos by Finley Wegener.)
The World Wood Bellyboard Contest
And so to the highlight of my European Tour…
It’s Tuesday morning and I am still in shock from the weekend’s series of events. Fortunately I am relaxing in the Brea Vean Surf House and have time to decompress.

Goodbye Spain… hello England
The Spanish and French sections of our European tour are coming to an end… Matt and I have made a lot of boards and a lot of friends.
Salinas Surfing Festival
Late nights! The Spanish do not sleep much. The first night of the festival the BBQ started at 10pm and the movies followed running into to the next morning.
Tom’s Creation Plantation

Sliding, Spanish style
We’re getting from great waves over here in Spain. We’re currently on our way to the Salinas Surf Festival, meeting lots of people along the way and turning them onto the alaia. These photos of Tuesday’s session come courtesy of my friend Willy Uribe.
