Scenes from a Day of Magic in North Cornwall

My fellow Surfmat riders and I had a get together recently (details HERE and HERE). Here are a few shots from the day. As always, click to enlarge and I hope you enjoy them.

Brothers in Stoke - Surfmatters Dan & Adrian sharing the stoke after the meet.

End of the Road - A North Atlantic swell reaches the end of it's life. I don't think I'll ever cease to be amazed by waves.

NC Pit - Unknown surfer at a North Cornish Pointbreak. This is an amazing spot, certainly one of Britain's finest.  Video of it HERE

This swell seemed to be a real gift. The days before and after were nowhere near the quality. Sometimes it just happens. Good karma for the mat riders perhaps. ;-)

North Cornish Pointbreak

Footage of a North Cornish Point. I'd been in for a couple of hours heavy paddling before this plus the number in the water, matched by the number getting kitted up meant I got the camera out.

Surfmat - GoPro Screengrab

I was in two minds about this.  I pulled this screen grab from THIS VIDEO.  It's a shot of my friend Ian Wraith riding his surfmat at Mawgan Porth.  Being a screen grab, you tend to lose a lot of clarity but I think it still has an interesting effect.

The GoPro camera does give the option of taking photo's with a 5MP camera using the  135 degree fisheye lense. Certainly something to explore.

Anyway, here's the shot.
