Gliding December 6, 2009

I’m pretty stoked about this one. I should start thinking about adding a face and some hair. Email me at: scosurf@gmail.com if you want any of my art as a wallpaper.

Complete with a colour palette.

Flow December 5, 2009

Me trying to be Andy Davis.

A little illustration promoting the all mighty Stub.

Not many surfers raise a hand when gliding along…

One and a half top turns.

Stagnes December 5, 2009

Laura, Rob and I hit St. Agnes today. It was pretty epic. I had the best over the falls of my life on this wave that might have been a head and a half. It kinda felt like a roller coaster ride. The locals were loving The Stub.

The crowds were dense and undensified at a later time.

How can anyone resist taking pictures of oil on the ground?

Rob owns this contraption: a legit miniature surfboard(fiberglass foam, stringer and all) with trucks and wheels mounted on them. It’s pretty sickkk.

Different Perspective November 28, 2009

The FXU/Freeriders Surf Comp 09 went on at Porthmoer today. Ryan borrowed my camera again.

Ryan’s gonna get some wings.

After a few shots, he became a huge fan. Taken by Ryan.

Ryan’s theory was, take pics of this ripping grom and sell the pics to him later. Taken by Ryan.

That rock threw some big spray. Taken by Ryan.

St. Ives’ own Teahupoo, except it’s right. Taken by Ryan.

Classic sand shot. Taken by Ryan.

Nose drops. Taken by Ryan.

Rob H’s shoes and tail. Taken by Ryan.

Barber is his arch nemisis. Taken by Ryan.

It was raining pretty hardcore the whole time. Taken by Ryan.

Keith was the head judge as well as the color guard of the comp. Taken by Ryan.

I went out for a second time during the day. It might seem like awesome to have two sessions in a day but when it’s 50 degrees below freezing and your wetsuit is wet from the last use, things aren’t so lush… Taken by Ryan.

Boat November 23, 2009

I suddenly had the urge to draw waves, then a boat.

I should look into purchasing a book on colour.

Windows November 15, 2009

Yesterday was the first time I ever surfed Swanpool beach. It was uber offshore and the crowd factor was redic. There were no rules any more. People were dropping in on one another left and right.

While I was working on my laptop I looked at the window. Thought the texture in the curtains would make a cool shot with some backlight.

We left the house pretty early and checked Swanpool. It looked rank so we checked Gylly and saw this mini right but weren’t too keen.

We went to Jan’s afterwards. Had another opportunity to shoot another window. Sick shade of blue.

Jan’s girlfriend picked up some coasters with wicked illustrations on them.

It really looks like the house of art students.

It rained.

We went back to Swanpool to sesh it. It looked awesome for a Falmouth break.

We left because of the crowds. Here’s a splashing shot.

Here’s a Gylly Reef left.

We booked tickets for 2012 which was an awesome movie. Since we had 2 hours to kill we went for a skate at the Maritime parking lot.

Long exposure down the shoe.

Shoe view with pop up flash.

I set the camera to a 10 second exposure, set it on top of my board and pushed it down the lot. The world is a scary place for a skateboard

Blind Surf November 11, 2009

Today we arrived at Perranporth for a second time after checking Crantock and after I put on my wetsuit, I realized I was wearing my glasses. I don’t carry a spare pair of contacts with me so I was going to surf blind… I was pretty freaked out because they waves looked big from far away but as soon as I rode the first wave I was stoked. It was a totally different feeling when you’re riding a wave but you only see vague shapes.

Long lines. Super glassy.

A cornish crow, mid flight in the Perranporth car park.

We went to Perranporth once and Joe wasn’t satisfied so we checked Crantock and that was pants so we went back to Perranporth.

I usually make pasta bakes for dinner at Ben’s, maybe because it was the first thing his mom ever made me.

Ben had a giant pasty.

A wider angle of my meal.

To test a pasty’s ready-to-eat-ness it’s best to drill a hole, extract a potato and eat it. If it’s good then the pasty is good.

Wednesday November 4, 2009

Went to Praa this morning.

It looked alright from the main lot.

Gash bag ruining a parking lot. The seshuan was pretty short. Mega chops due to hardcore winds.

A key fob was made in the Wilson garage.

I was shaping a hand plane and Ben picked up the negative and put to his face as a stache. So I was inspired to make a wooden stache.

Authority.

First time I’ve cooked Bow-Tie pasta in my life. It was awesome.

More Wacom Bamboo Waves October 31, 2009

We drew these while the lappy t was hooked up to the big screen.

Here’s the set up.

Here’s Ben’s second Wacom wave.

My version of a perfect wave. I’d probably prefer if it was a right so mirror this image in your head.

Wacom Pad Fun October 31, 2009

Ben, His mum, and I had a go on my Wacom Pad before Ben and I went for surf.

I took this picture of  the steamed bathroom mirror while Ben was Wacoming.

Ben drawing an A Frame.

This cool off centered white vase was on their window sill.

Here’s Benji’s drawing.

Here’s my retro surfer guy, riding without a leash or any wax because he’s that good.

Here’s what Ben’s mum drew.
