I was back on the beach today because it was sunny and windy and because I wanted to see my friends. It was like coming home. It has been too long since I have heard the sound of the wind and today, even a few waves.
I was sick during the week – I’m not going [...]
Via twitter, sometime before Christmas, I discovered that there were such things as VW camper van shaped cookie jars. They are a product line by Animal. I like some of the Animal stuff; in particular I have a backpack which I bought in the surf shop in Lahinch about 8 years ago (I hadn’t wanted [...]
Ages ago now, from the front of a windsurfing magazine, I got a free DVD called Escape from Pressure. It must have been 7 or 8 years ago, maybe 10. Before I started kitesurfing anyway. It was one of the best DVDs I ever got, even though it was free. It should be on MPORA [...]

It’s all Cabrinha’s fault. And Andre Phillip. It’s his fault more than anything. [...]
And if you don’t kitesurf, you may not know who that is. Anyway, thanks to the genii at Pure Magic Kitesurfing and the Best Dealer Network, Kristin is coming to give a kite clinic for girl kitesurfers in Mayo. I knew she did stuff like this from time to time and was angling to plan [...]
