a new Journal

I have been looking for a connection to make sense of the new journal about to appear on wavedreamer. I have been really passionate about two activities in my life, one is obviously surfing, the other is growing food. You know what, the connection is SELF RELIANCE at a time when we are all so interdependent it is liberating to do things that sustain and nourish, physically and emotionally without the need for someone else to contribute. Whats really special for me is to be able to do both activities in locations within sight of each other!

Always up for a project, the men at Gulf Stream are a cultural beacon shining bright in North Devon. They don’t just make pieces of art that you can ride waves with, they do other stuff too, pop into their gentleman’s outfitters in Braunton, it’s full of girls stuff.

Surfers Against Sewage campaign for clean, safe recreational waters, free from sewage effluents, toxic chemicals and nuclear waste. Using a solution based argument of viable and sustainable alternatives, SAS highlight the inherent flaws in current practices, challenging industry, legislators and politicians to end their ‘pump and dump’ policies. And sometimes they do this by cross dressing. Yeeeha!

What a weekend that was! I have to hold my hands up and admit to losing my focus. Broken van, cloudy sunrise, too much wind, missed phone calls, I could blame many things but the truth is I was distracted by my need to surf and surf I did! Which means this weeks video is of a similar swell from the wavedreamer archives. The footage is of Nick Thorn at home. Apologies to Ben and Neil, next time heh! Thanks to Clive for letting me use this track that I recorded during one of Bowl Rider’s Studio sessions at Decoy, it sums up my weekend.
