Go Jago

Its been such a great spring and summer watching Jago race (in yellow #900). His gates are becoming really good and he's learning his race lines. His pumping and riding has improved so much and best of all his confidence on the gate is excellent and on occasion pulling ahead of some of the more experienced and faster youngsters.
 As it stands at the moment it looks like he finished around 13th but just waiting for the final points to be tallied up. I'm stoked for the little fella.

Happy Birthday Little Man

A little belated for this blog as Jago's 7th Birthday was yesterday but just wanted to quickly say that your Mum and Me could not be prouder than I am right now of my little man.  Keep on rollin' jago. Love you mate XXX

Dog Town grommet

Dog Town Sennen grommet ...like those who went before him using the school playground to roll.

Trail Discoveries

Out riding with my little Trail Leader  Jago today and we came across this  gem in a beautiful valley. Jago can take the credit for this find as his little legs did not want to stop. Good find son, not bad for 5 years old!!

Matuse Wetsuits and Joe Davies

 Joe davies is an amazing Longboarder, he's very funny and if anyone is looking for a sports commentator, Joe is hysterical. He rides a longboard with such style and grace that he is a favourite of many including myself and the favourite surf coach of my son jago!!
Matuse Wetsuits have put Joe on their team and I'm so stoked for him. I'm also stoked because they have used some of my shots (not this portrait though, which is classic) for his team page on their global website. Super stoked so please check them out here

Dropping In.

Lesson Number one for my son Jago in what it feels like to roll in. Thank to my friends son Ford (named after Archie) Clarke who has become an amazing skater, we have Jago well on the way to a life on board!!

Note: By the way Mum this was just after we took all his pads off and they went back on quickly after!!

Me and the boy

Me and Jago strolling down for a wave. Thanks to dave Muir for this photo taken at this years Hip Wigglers.

Superheroes

If my son Jago could go surfing right now, this is what he would look like, four years old and convinced he's Spiderman!! Only difference would be Jago would be fully on the nose (in my mind, we work on that bit next summer!).

Thinking Man

my son Jago, having a ponder on life at three.

Me and the boy.

Happy Birthday Jago, 3 today. Love ya big guy!

The wheels on the bus......

Happy Christmas

Happy Christmas to all my friends, family and fellow surfers, bloggers and all the other good people out there. This is one of Santas helpers, nearly two now, Jago Pierre, not really knowing whats happening.

Joel Jitsu Issue big hit with Jagomeister.

Jago loving the new issue of Surfer, with guest editor Joel Tudor. He particularly paid attention to the Donald Takayama noseride and shot of Tyler Warren slotted on a red single fin. Niiiiiice.

"Watch out Slater, I'm coming for you"

This is Jago on Saturday, 18 months old and his first venture into the waves with his old dad. My proudest momnet yet. Let the grom training begin. Check the little cross step in the bottom shot. Thanks so much to Charlie Jay for taking the snaps. www.charliejay.co.uk.
