Free surf Donegal & British Open 2008, Portrush, Northern Ireland

Thursday - Darren, Sam, Chris Hobson and I were invited by Dessie to surf a session for the DVD that he's making. It was a perfect surf, on a left hander reef. We nearly had the spot to ourselves and the atmosphere out back was amazing. The only drawback was the wind, which prevented us surfing a second session in the afternoon.

With 5 video cameras (1 headcam, 1 in the water and 3 on the shore, 1 of them professional quality) trained on us, we braved the bigger sets out back with one or two impressive cover ups that were pulled into without a hope of getting out! The inside section walled nicely for some aggressive surfing. After that session I was the most tired (and happy!) that I can remember being after surfing.

On Friday Dessie took us north, unfortunately there was nowhere to film from here but we had a great surf, with estimations of 20ft faces on the bigger sets. It was COLD. My hands were numb by the time I got on the water, mainly due to the icy wind. The wave was slow and predictable but fairly heavy. The challenge was to take off progressively deeper and try to make it. It’s an intimidating place to surf with lines of swell appearing on the horizon looking like they’re going to break all the way along half a mile further out than you’re sitting. I had to put my trust completely in Dessie paddling into the break, relying on his knowledge of the break. It paid off and I had a really enjoyable surf.

As we got out to this break early, we had the rest of the day to get to Portrush for the competition. On the car journey over I fell straight to sleep. We decided against another surf to keep us fresh for competition; instead we visited the Giant’s Causeway. Here we half forgot about the rocks that we came to see, when we saw the huge waves in the bay. They were probably the biggest, heaviest waves I have ever seen, and were really close – tow in surf-able if you were crazy and didn’t mind rocks!

Saturday morning, competition time. The windy conditions were difficult to surf in but with the wind getting weaker throughout the day we saw the potential of the quality beach break. Chris Hobson, James Hawker and I all displayed our stupidity, taking some of the big clean up sets at the end of the day, which although were entertaining from the shore, were very heavy, and really painful! Chris Hobson also pulled an awesome air landing on the green, securing himself a place in the men’s semi finals. The excellent facilities at the venue were much appreciated, you could retreat out of the biting cold wind after your heat into warm showers and a changing room. There was also a meeting room that you could watch the surfing from (although most people seemed to prefer standing outside in the cold!).

That evening we had a meal at 55o North where we watched some footage from the day.

Sunday. We arrived an hour or two early as six people can’t get the clocks changing right! It was a long wait for me until my junior finals at the end of the day, leaving me time to get fairly nervous! After watching a day of high quality surfing, it was time for the finals. It was really motivating in the junior short boat final to take a good wave in, start the paddle out and see someone else ripping on a wave. I sprinted solidly throughout the heat, with sets fortunately coming to the peak that I was sitting on as soon as I got there. The set waves didn’t seem to close, giving some really long rides. Some great displays of surfing from Chris Hobson and Jonny saw them deservedly take the mens long and short finals. Coran surfed well all weekend, making three finals, coming up on top in the long boat juniors. Miss Mega was really pleased to retain the ladies short boat title and I was thrilled to win the juniors short boat.

British Open

The weekend of the 25th and 26th of October saw the some of the biggest swell iv ever seen!

The competition began on Saturday 9am. The swell forecast for the day before had been OFF the scale on Magic Seaweed (for those of you that don’t know, that means it was above 25ft!).

The venue was Portrush, Northern Ireland, and the competitors had travelled from Scotland, Wales and England to surf the break. This beach break is renowned within the Northern Irish surfing community for being hollow and heavy, even on nice days. This weekend was no exception.

Saturday morning, and the swell had dropped to about 23ft. The heavens had opened and the winds were high, all the necessities you need to make a good comp, lol. As the first heats of the day went out, competitors such as Gerry McGahey and Darren Bassen really showed their talents as they took on the barrelling break.

Gerry McGahey who organised the event, and to whom i must say a big thank you to, it was a great event! decided to postpone the Ladies heats until the Sunday due to the heavy conditions.

The first Ladies heat on Sunday was at 10.40, and consisted of myself (Robyn Pearcey), Elaine Alexader, Shalene Ward, and Jackie Ferguson. The winds had dropped, and dare I say it, we actually had some sunshine :)! Everyone paddled really hard as we battled against the 10ft faces on the way out. Elaine got one of the nicest waves of the whole heat.

Both Shalene and I made it through to the Final along with Tamsin Green and Tracy Sherrington from the other heat. The Final was held at 1.40 that afternoon, by which time the winds had really dropped and the surf was a lot cleaner.

The Hooter went! We all started paddling for waves, Shalene had an awesome first wave, shortly followed by Tamsin and then myself. Everyone in the Final surfed exceptionally well and made the most out of the waves that were to be had.
The Final Hooter went, and as we got off the water, I really didn’t know whether I had done enough to secure a place in the top three.

The announcements went as follows. Shalene Ward 4th Place, Tracy Sherrington 3rd Place, (and this was when the nerves kicked in) Tamsin Green 2nd Place, Robyn Pearcey 1st Place. I couldn’t believe it, I was over the moon!

I would just like to say that everyone in the Final paddled really well and I would like to say a special thank you to Tamsin who has always, and continues to encourage and support me, it means a lot. Thank you hun.

I would also like to thank Mega. If it wasn’t for you dad, I wouldn’t have an amazing boat to surf :). A big thank you to both you and mum. I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for you two, Big Hug!. And last but not least I would like to thank all my friends, both at home and at uni, for their ongoing support and encouragement, cheers guys! :)


Robyn A.K.A Miss Mega!

New Zealand!

Hi Guys

Just an update from my travels so far.

I left home on september the 21st and went to Hong Kong for 5 days.. interesting trying to move around with my boat but some how both me and the merlin came out alive!

Next I went to stay with some family in the North island of NZ, had a great time with good weather and amazing food. Next I came to Queenstown an amazing small town in the South Island with tons of bars, cool people and far far too many jager bombs... its all about the jager bombs... perfect. I am now working as a riversurfing guide (possibly the best job in the world!) and generally loving life!

Just wanted to write and say well done to all the England team in france it sucked that I had to leave early but I had an amazing last night and am really missing you all!!!! I also wanted to say a massive THANKYOU to Mega for all your support and those coctails in france! Also i heard that Phill and Robyn did really well in Ireland Nice one guys! I have put a couple of pics up that have nothing to do with surfing but are pretty cool anyway.

Cheers

World Cup and Homes France 2008

The Flying Squad was in fine form last week at the World Cup in France. It was held along side the Home Internationals so there was a lot of competing to be had during the week. There was a great atmosphere amongst the competitors and the first few days saw some great waves. Team England were fantastic and had some awsome results which saw them win the Homes. We were then becalmed which gave the lads a chance to dig big sandy holes and launch themselves across them. The Saturday however saw the competition take on a serious note again with places in the final of the World Cup at stake. There were some great waves to be had although quite a lot closed out so choice was important. The finals saw some great surfing from everyone. Sam and David had a close battle with Sam coming out on top to take the junior title. In the Men's Edu and David (he must have been tired by now from all the heats!) also had a great contest with Edu winning the Men's title. I was in the final against Alisa and eventually came through to win the womens title. I had a great time at the event and was well pleased to have won the world cup. Mention also to be made of Robyn who surfed brilliantly through out the week although did not make the semi finals. Thanks to Team Mega, I love my Reflex!!, Jon Watson for being a great team manager, the Homes organisers, Pete and Stu and finally Rusty for running the World cup. It was a week to remember.

Quackers Charity event at Alnwick gardens

Last month I was privileged to be asked to help out in a local charity event held at Alnwick gardens.
A duck race was held at Alnwick gardens to raise money for Grace House childrens hospital and over £22000 was raised by selling ducks in Sainsbury's throughout the North East. These ducks were then released into the fountains at Alnwick Gardens and the lucky ones were picked out by myself sitting in my surf boat at the bottom which was a laugh and surprised a few visitors.

It was great to be part of this event and do a bit for charity.

BRITISH PLASTIC SURF KAYAK CHAMPIONSHIPS 2008

I arrived at Skern Lodge on Friday evening after having travelled non-stop for 12 hrs, Chris Hobson enjoyed the fact that it was a lot shorter on the plane!!! Anyway, I enjoyed spending the evening with John Watson, Malcolm and Sue and after an early breakfast on saturday morning it was straight to the beach at woolacombe.


The juniors kicked off the day by trying out the plastic boats down the sand dunes (christened the hill of death when walking back up to the carpark with a boat over the shoulder) Sam Davenport and Jack Horwell started off, Chris Hobson got a decent blunt and Dave Speller actually got air!!


The main competition started off with a strong cross wind which made surfing conditions difficult. There were a lot of popped decks, some swims ( I actually got sucked out in one of the heats), Robyn's leg injury (going well up until then) and a few good old fashion hidings.

As the day progressed the surf got bigger and better and reaching the semis we had 6 juniors and 2 seniors left in the competition. The final was very keenly contested and everyone surfed well. Darren Bason comming in 1st place, Steve childs 2nd, Sam Davenport 3rd and Dave Speller 4th place.


After the competition,it was straight on to Cook Island to celebrate Malcolm and Sue's 25th wedding anniversary. It turned out to be a great night with a great carvery, music from DJ mastervibe and an unbelieveable raffle with 2 composite and 2 plastic boats up for grabs along with the many other prizes, we all left with plenty of goodies.Thankfully I had nothing to do with anything concerning stickers!!!! (we know you knew all along Malcolm).


The weekend ended with an expression session on sunday morning. Shaun Holmes, Steve davies and Steve Childs were ripping it up on the skis and Philip Watson and myself also got among the prizes for best moves. Malcolm also had his new Ski available which is definitely worth a look.
On reflection of the weekend I would say the competition was well run, good to meet up with old faces and some new, RAIN, friendly people, great party, prizes galore, Hill of death. I would recommend this weekend to beginners and experienced surf kayakers and hope to be there again next year. Yeah, and before I go Chris did manage to mention before he left that there was a big time difference in travelling to Ireland between van and plane.

Good to be home . . .

. . . when it’s like this!

Kayak Chicama: Peru Expedition

Next month Flying Squad member Chris Harvey and surfer/designer/photographer Steve Childs will be heading up a team travelling to Peru retracing the origins of surf kayaking and surfing Chicama, the longest wave on the planet. With the right conditions we could be up and riding for for over 2km :) The team will be filming and photographing the expedition to produce magazine and video documentaries telling the story of our sport and the true origins of surfing. For more information about the expedition and team, check out: www.kayakchicama.com

Thanks to Malcolm and Mega Surf Kayaks for sponsoring the team with kayaks :)

Happy surfing

Merlin ski – Gwithian Competition

The comp started with some worried looks at the tiny waves to see if they were surfable – thankfully the surf kept up enough all day - just.

Us juniors seemed to have the luck of the draw, with our IC and HP finals being when the surf was at its best. There were long consistent left handers for our IC and in our HP we had some fast steep walls which although were small and close to the beach, didn’t break for ages. Both finals had a really friendly but competitive atmosphere. I managed to get both firsts, with Jack a very close second each time. Well done to Dylan Petherick who was showing some positive, enthusiastic surfing in the juniors.

A highlight of the day was taking out the new Merlin Ski after my final. I was really impressed and really enjoyed it. It was very responsive and I gelled with it straight away as it surfs exactly like a Merlin. Robyn and I had to drag ourselves off the beach (Robyn literally as her legs had gone numb!) after a long freesurf – I just didn’t want to stop surfing!

Philip

Gwithian winners:
HP – Darren Bason
IC – James Hawker
Ladies – Tamsin Green
Plastic – Nate Long
Junior HP – Philip Watson
Junior IC – Philip Watson
Masters – Gary Adcock

Dabbling on the dark side

Have bin playing with something different in the last week.

Based upon the Merlin, kayak to ski, will it work, well hopefully will find out at this weekends competition at Gwithian.

Corin's 1st blog

Hi, this is my 1st blog as part of the Mega Squad. I competed in the world surf kayak championships last year and got a 2nd place in the junior IC but was dissappointed in my result in the junior HP. So i got a new MEGA REFLEX and also decided to do a bit of playboating to hopefully improve my HP performance.

So far results have gone my way, I came 1st in the Inny junior Rodeo. I then competed in the Irish National Junior Freestyle championships which was held over 2 different events. I got a 1st place on the Curragower wave in Limerick and my brother Jake got a 2nd place. The 2nd event was at the Hole feature in Clifden, i came a very lucky 2nd and Jake came 7th. This gave me 1st overall and i was delighted to be crowned Irish Junior freestyle National champion and Jake also did very well getting 3rd place overall. I enjoyed all the Rodeos, everyone was very friendly and i also got to meet a lot of top freestyle paddlers.

Rollon to the Europeans in Mundaka. I arrived on the Friday and got to free surf on the Mundaka wave for about 2 hours but managed to loose a fin. Having no backup Fins Malcolm came to the rescue with a set of his new fins and so far they have been performing really well. On saturday we surfed the Mundaka wave and i made it through in the juniors but got knocked out of the mens. On sunday i got through to the junior final in Bakio and managed to win with Philip comming 2nd. Philip is a fantastic competitor and i am looking forward to competing against him in the future. After the competition i had another great free surf on the Mundaka rivermouth. I really enjoyed this trip especially the freesurfing in Mundaka.

The girls surfed spain too!!

Just thought I would add the girly perspective on Spain! As usual I arrived far too excited for my own good and was only slightly envious of those who had spent Friday getting great waves. Saturday was a fantastic day, warm and sunny it was like being on holiday. A brief surf in the morning set me up for the day, the inside wave was really sweet and I had some great rides which left me feeling very positive for the event. I was a little dissapointed there were not enough women to make an IC event as I love IC paddling its really fun, come on girls! I entered the mens IC which gave me a ring side seat for Jonny's performance in my heat, he was flying! I really enjoyed the Womens heat and found a great spot to surf. Robyn also had some excellent, waves, she is a great competitor,so I was feeling really pleased for us both. The results which were finally posted, it took a while for them to match bib colours to names, saw me reach the final in first place . I was gutted Robyn did not make it through and do think she deserve to. This left me with 3 Basque girls to beat.

The Sunday at Bakio was not quite so nice, I do in a strange kind of way enjoy getting nailed in beach dump, I have had a lot of practice, however in competition it is not ideal! The final was really competative but I achieved some nice waves all things considered. I was really pleased I won the event and also want to say congratulations to eveyone else men and juniors who got some great results for the flying squad. I watched a lot of the competition both days and saw some outstanding surfing from loads of people it is amazing to be part of it.

Congratulations Coran and welcome to the Flying Squad!

Had a great weekend at Mundaka and Bakio. It sounded like perfect surf at Mundaka on the Friday and I was envious of the people who got to surf then! The competition happened on Mundaka thoughout Saturday with smaller conditions but some random slightly bigger, fast waves that is classic Mundaka. In the evening a nice steep bowl opened up on the inside sandbank, setting up for an awesome freesurf till my body was too tired to move!

We went to Bakio on Sunday for the competitions. Bakio is usually a wave that I really enjoy but I struggled to find good waves in the junior final, Coran took a well deserved first with me second. Jake King is also paddling really well, his surfing’s coming on very fast. Well done to Chris H, Darren and Edu for making the final(s). Edu looked almost unbeatable and was reading the unpredictable Bakio really comfortably.

Sunshine & Surf in Spain :)

Last weekend proved to be another successful one for the flying squad. I headed out on the Friday evening and having had snow the week before in Yorkshire, was pleased to feel the summer heat. A small swell pushed through into the river mouth at Mundaka on Saturday but conditions were certainly tough...I managed the highest score of the day though, with Darren only a close second so was pleased with that. By the evening (after the competition) there was an awesome little wave on the inside, throwing out and with plenty of power it was perfect for HP and a nice way to round off the day. Day 2 was a bit of a let down in terms of surf, with typical beach dump at Bakio, but it was good to see all the flying squad making the most of what there was and 3 of us in the final. I was feeling pretty good all day and put in some good performances...focussed on the win i went into the final feeling confident. Unfortunately I struggled to find the waves and finished 4th but well done to Edu and Darren in 1st and 2nd. A fun weekend but totally knackered for work on Monday! Hopefully getting some photos up soon so watch this space.
Happy Surfing!

Medals at Santa Cruz

Last weekend I headed out with a few other members of the Flying to Squad to Santa Cruz for the 1st of this year's World Cup Series. After the successes of last year we were all hoping for good waves and good performances. Dave Speller and Chris Hobson, competed in Junior class with typically excellent form and took Gold and Silver (nice result!) With varying conditions, the surfing was tough, but i managed to make the final and it all came together again with a nice walling left and landing an aerial secured the title...so i'm really stoked to win the Gold again :) Also narrowly missing out on the medals with 4th places were our latest squad members, Sam Davenport and Robyn Pearcey...well done guys, really good effort!

It's back to colder climes this week..snowing in Yorkshire! But i'm busy putting together some articles about the event...watch this space.

Happy Surfing

England Team weekend

Hi guys

Just writing to say a big thanks to John to Glyn and the rest of the Skern guys who helped to run the weekend, it was really good. The assault course was great fun and the coaching stuff was really usefull, i would also like to thank the rest of the team for making it such a great weekend although the highlight for me had to be Gary and Dans game of nose pool !!

Jack

The British Championships 2007

I would like to start by saying a big thanks to Dan And Tam for organising the Comp and making it such a good weekend.

For Myself Robyn and Sam the weekend started witha nice short 10 hour drive which included lots of singing and dancing plus a visit from the AA man, when we finally arrived it was cold (-5) and we had decided to Camp which was interesting, we woke up in the morning and emerged from our iglu tired but ready for the competition. I was prepared for my first go in the northeast water but was still shocked about how cold it really was. The day ran smoothly with only one minor incident in the first heat but after Peter had been rescued the heats went by quickly, at the end of the day we all went to the village hall for the prize giving and party.

After another cold night and a lovely bacon and egg sandwich in the morning we had to head home, this time the route we took was a little different, everything was going fine until we realised we were quite lost, actually very lost so far lost infact that we were near London, but as we are young and intelligent we had a plan: go to birmingham then home so off we went again from london to birmingham then home. finally one last thankyou to everyone who helped out.

Cheers

Jack

A proud day for Mum and Dad

A little over 10 months ago our daughter Robyn got into a kayak in Santa Cruz thanks to our good friend Dan Crandall.

She had been out of a boat for around 2years before that and as a complete beginner at that stage had suffered a bad experience getting stuck in a boat, so we were delighted that Dan had managed to get her confidence back and also get her rolling.

Upon returning from S.Cruz she was determined to continue paddling and so with her new "Miss Mega" trident she entered Simon Hammonds contest in April. A good number of swims in her heats did nothing to dampen her enthusiasm and more contests followed along with some expert one-on-one coaching with Glynn down at Skern Lodge.

Roll forward to October and Robyn paddled for the England Team at Mundaka and Bakio in Ladies IC

All great experience, and more confidence boosting, having the opportunity to paddle with the Worlds best.

So now we come to last weekend, The British Surf kayak Champs at Druridge Bay, as is fairly common the ladies HP event was to be a straight final with 5 girls entered,

Robyn had already paddled 2 heats in the open HP and looked confident with the conditions, and the bitter cold.

A 3rd place in her second heat was her best domestic result yet, and so to the Ladies final,5 girls

none of which she had beaten before at any contest, including Tamsin, the reigning Champion.

5 mins into the heat and Robyn had already had what seemed like the 2 best waves so far, was it possible that she might even get a medal. My nerves were starting to show. I'd stopped watching the others in the heat and started to make my way down to the waters edge. The yellow flag had already been up for a while by the time i got down there and Robyn was on another wave which looked OK.

And then disaster, she got dumped on and he deck blew. She managed to stay in the boat and paddle in to knee depth then jumped out to empty and get back in, to late ,the Red was up.

Then for me, the nervous wait, I knew she had done well, but how well, was she really going to get a podium.

A couple of hours later, well ,every picture tells a story.

Robyn Pearcey, Ladies Britih HP Champion.

A huge thanks to everyone that has helped, encouraged, and supported Robyn.

I think she has just earn't her wings!!

Mum and Dad

Classic day in the north

Yesterday was the best session i've had in a long time. Despite the cold water of the North Sea, managed to last 3hrs in perfect 3ft conditions :) A light offshore breeze meant that barrels and fast walls were aplenty. Hopefully conditions will be good for the Brits at the weekend...fingers crossed!

Happy Surfing

Chris

UK First Event - Harlyn

First competition of the season – Harlyn, 26 Jan 2008. Soooo stoked as I won the men’s open!!!

A great junior short boat final in difficult conditions saw Sam taking the win, with me second and Jack third.

The junior long boat class was awesome, with Sam, Jack and I coming off of the water buzzing saying how fun it was. I came first, Sam second and Jack third.

Another first recently was presenting prizes for my local council’s summer sporting stars. I talked a bit about competing in surf kayaking and then presented awards to children aged 5-16.

Good luck Tamsin with the sports personality awards.
Looking forward to the Brits.

A Day In North Donegal

The new 'Rv' a great boat - better!






The new RV offers everything the first neutron had, but with its raised sides, allows for a higher, and further forwad seating position. This gives you more reach, more power through your turns, and means you can go for those bigger moves!





The new back deck, well, now getting nailed, isn't such a bad thing!
