Winter Surfing - Salcombe

It may be winter with temperatures getting lower every day but that didn't deter these surfers catching the waves on a Devon beach in 2013. The sea was rough, waves large and the low winter sun (although shining brightly) provided little warmth to the surfers at they entered the water. Out in the middle of the estuary the braver surfers rode the large waves around wolf rock whilst paddle boarders and other surfers found ample sized waves to ride in the bay of North Sands beach.

Salcombe Town Regatta Firework Display 2013

The Salcombe Town Regatta is held yearly in the small town of Salcombe in Devon famed for its local crab and popular with holiday makers. The week long town regatta includes many traditional seaside events such as a sandcastle competition, spot the bloomer and a very popular firework display usually on the penultimate day of the event. My video (filmed from South Sands beach just outside the town) affords the viewer an alternative angle on the 2013 display with Salcombe castle silhouetted against the bright colours of the display.

Southern Mill Annual Funday 2008

This was a poster was designed by me in 2008 for an Annual Funday event at southern mill caravan site in Salcombe Devon where I`ve spent many a memorable holiday !. The poster uses a sketchy style that reflects the rural nature of the area and the fact the event was aimed at children. The funday itself included a number of traditional 'events' such as duck races and treasure hunts the event was held in aid of the Devon air ambulance.
