On the home straight.

The photos show Helen and me in the sound studio recording the voice overs for the final online edit which Helen and Mike should be finishing this afternoon. Not sure how I'm feeling at the moment bit relieved it's finally done, nervous as to how it'll look (I've not yet seen the final edit) and as to how it will be received. Also a bit sad it's over I want to keep on making this film for ever.

The only thing we are waiting to shoot the the Surfer's Chain world record attempt which is happening in Swansea on the 13th Sept footage of which will hopefully make it into the closing sequence of the film. But as it's dependent on weather we'll have to see what happens on the day.

In the water August has been a really good month with a couple of awesome swells normally what we'd expect in sept & Oct but not August.  While everyone else has been complaining about the weather the surfers have been loving it. The high-light was a couple of days at the beginning of the month when it was 5-6ft glass & no one could believe their luck. The size also cut down the summer crowds together with the fact everywhere was going off. And it was warm I was in my shortie the whole time - why carn't it be like that all summer? Trouble is if it was I'd get no work done ever but then again I'd probably be so much of a better surfer know which I'd prefer. At the same time I've got no complaints I was able to take the time off when it mattered that week!
