Championship catch up.

Hello to all you lovely, sporting folk.
John and I, hope you all managed to catch "CountryFile's" piece on the 2008 World Championships. If not, don't worry, you can now view it on BBC iplayer. It's the one that aired on Sunday 12th October. The piece on the Championships is about 40 minutes in.
Your's truly was in attendance and shot the water footage for the Beeb, I have put some highlights in the movie above, but rest assured there is plenty more material and I will try and get it posted over the next couple of weeks. Enjoy!
Christiaan.

What a pair of beauties!

Ever since my induction to prone timber surf riding, I have reveled in a thrill so in tune with the wave face and all the natural elements, which bring so much joy.
The timber board in all it's fin-less, tuned in simplicity, is certainly a treat to be cherished.

The World Championships 2008

A messy onshore swell provided challenging but fun conditions for all contestants in this years World Bellyboard Championships at Chapel Porth beach . Costumes were rife , one plucky fellow sporting a gold lame catsuit ?! The sun shone as always as Sean "Frank" Harris was crowned World Champ .. The biggest thanks must go to Chris Ryan who selflessly slogs to put this wonderful event on for everybody !
