Ynyslas to Borth & Back at Speed
It may not be the fastest way to travel, but it’s not far off it and it’s certainly one of the most fun ways of getting from Ynyslas to Borth and back. Fast, coastal gun-running in the sunshine of Wales – Perfection!

Mad Speed Sailing Session
Ivor kicked in over the weekend as predicted and blew with a vengeance all day long. Despite the fact that I was supposed to be having a rest day on Saturday in preparation for the Dyfi Enduro on Sunday I just had to go for a windsurf. The estuary would have been good as the...
Summertime Sailing
It may still only be Spring but the sunshine, blue skies and turquoise waters here have made it feel like summer for a few days in April. Who’d have thought this video was shot in Wales!
Windsurfing at Ynsylas
And just to prove that I have still been windsurfing despite the distinct lack of wind lately, here’s a quick clip of me giving it a go with only just enough wind one morning last week. Conditions were very marginal and I was out on my 80 ltr slalom board and a 6.3m sail. At...
Windsurfing at Ynyslas
Just a quick video clip of me windsurfing this morning at Ynyslas. I was out on my 4.5m sail and little JP Wave Board, although I probably should have rigged the slightly larger 5m sail as there were times when I wasn’t quite powered up enough – This resulted in a bit of a swim...
Windy Miller!
I’ve just got back from a nice morning windsurf. Nothing too spectacular as my 4.5m sail and little board wasn’t quite big enough so I took some rinsings in the lulls and had one pretty big swim too. On one occasion I had a monster wipeout got rinsed around for a while, held under for...
Back out on the water
There’s been some wind again the last few days. It’s normally very windy here all the time, but so far this year there hasn’t been a huge amount and when there has been I’ve either been away, busy with something else or unable to get out windsurfing for some other reason. This week has been...
Forward Loop Crash
Well, if I learnt one thing today, its that slightly over-rotated forward loops can hurt quite a bit! All was going well, the wind was blowing, the waves were pretty big and I was out for a sail all on my own with my little JP Wave board and a 4.5m sail. First run out...
Jumping and Gybing
It looks as though February could be a windy month. It’s started off well with the weather station recording 43 knots yesterday, and despite still feeling a little unwell I have of course been out windsurfing. I’m not feeling that bad, but do have a sore throat and chest so I haven’t exactly been feeling...
GoPro HD Video Camera Review
My birthday present for my 40th this year was a GoPro HD helmet camera – A small, HD video camera in a rugged, waterproof (to 60m) housing. On paper it doesn’t look like anything too special. Compared to most modern tech-toys and other video cameras it has very few features. Other than recording in HD...
