Timson takes out VQS European event in France

Errant and Volcom team rider Harry Timson from Newquay surfed well throughout the event in Crozon in France to find himself in the final of the VQS event against fellow team mate Charly Quivront and 2 locals, Adrien Boadec and Tim Faujour.

However it was Harry’s impressive shredding in the beach break waves that scored with top place against his fellow European peers. A great result for 14 year Timson.

“The waves at Crozon, were fun, really similar to my home break Fistral beach in Newquay. Charly was unlucky with his … Continue Reading

Day one

A day in Transit.

The day began with an early morning wake up. We where quickly on the road to begin our Surfgirl adventure. We’re flying  out of Gatwick  so we had a long journey ahead of us but we got the tunes blasting out and the time flew bye!

We had enough time to  fit in a grommet lunch and a quick Facebook session; just to make everyone even more jealous.

To be honest I reckon that everyone will be pretty happy that me and Laura won’t have access to Facebook over the next few days. Apparently our count down has … Continue Reading

This video spread around the world in about an afternoon. Another fine example of viral marketing, social media sharing and surfing without having to put on a wet wetsuit.

Stay with the movie, after about 30 seconds it gets better!

Hi Errant Surf,

I’m pleased to say that all the feedback I can give on this trip is positive.

To be honest I thought I was booking into a surfing hostel – and I’ve recently been to some of these in Newquay… La Hosteria de Latas is nothing like these places, and more like a 4 star hotel. What it does have in common with hostels, however, is the friendly guests and great staff. The bar has a great mix of friendly locals and international guests, and the beer is cold and cheap.

The Hosteria also has some … Continue Reading

Can you believe this? BP actually endorsed a board game in the 70s about offshore oil drilling, which included the potential of oil spills. Ahh the irony.

There has been a lot of PR commenting on the disaster and providing thoughts on how BP should be managing its communication. I have decided to steer clear of the discussion. In my opinion BP’s issue is that there is a hole in the ocean floor spewing forth oil. Until that is … Continue Reading
