BARBADOS DELIVERS!
Well I just got back from an Epic Barbados trip. 10 days of wind and waves. No complaints at ALL!!!

Barbados was great to me. Tested some surfboards, twin tips and even some stand up paddle surfing. Rode some spots never ridden before too! Thanks to my wife and local sports photographer Chris Welch for some great shots and coverage of the trip.

Chris Welch is a talented local sports photographer. Ck out his site to get a good feel for all the action going on in Barbados for everything from skating to surfing. He really captures Barbados fantastically and the playground it offers . If you are ever in Barbados and want some action photos taken, contact Chris and he will capture your action and maybe even show you some secret local spots!
below are a couple of Chris's shots.

Props also to local riders Kevin Talma (above) and Kyle Harris (below) for helping me put my boards through the tests and providing great feedback.

I dig this shot. Chris captured me checking out the action as Kyle gives the quads some air time to cool off. Chris and I also shot some in some other locations too including some night shots and water angles....

I will post more later..

My wife captured some awesome action as well.. including the one below which is one of her favorites because of the water pattern in the back ground ... There we are busting out all the moves and she is looking for pretty water patterns : ) .. women!

Jacqui also caught me messing around on my long board too!!

Brian Talma (foreground in this photo) ambassador to all things water sports in Barbados... Thanks brother for your hospitality.

Well, I have work to catch up on. Everyone that contacted me while I was away, I will be in touch with you very soon. If you do not hear from me please drop me another line. I do not know for sure if I got all my email while I was away. I will try and get some more pictures out soon..

Thanks..
