New Boat, No GoPro!

I've got a new boat! I got a Project X 62 since coming home from Oz. Its great I love it. I've put on a few Kilos since coming back and I really notice the difference. The last day in the surf I just kept getting back looped. I shall look forward to shifting some of the weight after the thesis because aside from the back looping its not great from my back! Hoping to take the X for a spin in the BlackHole tomorrow(Saturday 19th Nov), I'll take some pictures.
My GoPro is broken. So there'll be no new videos from me for a while. I've to send it back to Australia to be serviced. You'll notice a little black dot in the bottom left of the Oz video, it's dirt inside the lens. Also it stopped recording videos longer than 3seconds so its gotta go! Laters

Day Dreaming Plans................

Big hi to anyone that still reads this. Happy Thanks Giving, Christmas, New Years, Easter and any other holidays and celebrations between this point and next June! I am knee to waist deep into my final year of Architecture at Waterford Institute of Architecture. I have little time for paddling, although I've been out for a few surfs since the start of the year. So all I do these days is day dream while I'm working on college stuff on what I'll do when I finish next June as there's no jobs to be had in Ireland. So leaving all reality aside I want to live like Steve Fisher. I want to get a van fit it out for paddling and travel the country. Check out this video by Dan Cambell. Great to see Dan back on the scene with Steve, if you've seen "Steve Fisher: Black Books" you'll know Dan's story. Anyway enjoy!
