Action sports coaching gets places!!






Hi all,

iam back from the Emerald Isle and what a cracking trip it was, the surf was happening. Not perfect but (for those of you that surf)thats the way it goes and you make the best of it!! As Billabong says only a surfer knows the feeling..

I spent many years surfing around Donegal and it was great to hit Tullaghan right and the peak again with old mates. Wont be long and iam there again. Thanks to Powersource surfboards www.powersourcesurfboards.com and Neil Britton at www.donegalsurfing.com for there help during my stay..If you need a board or lessons while in Ireland these are the people to talk to..

I also met my old friend Ciaran Ferguson, i worked with the "BUCK" on Bundoran and Rossnowlagh beaches, lifeguarding in 1994/95.

Ciaran now flys the Irish rescue chopper!! Not bad for someone that used to tell me he wanted to be a pilot 10 years ago!!
He gave me a look around, check pics.

Myself and the Alansbmx.com/shimano dxr team will be in Bournemouth this weekend racing the next round of the british championship series. its a double header so the racing is Sunday and Monday with practice on Saturday. If your about call into the team set up and say hello.

speak soon Mike
