Bitching It Up

10616642_10152615375262427_5355992012801572400_n

For many years I’ve wanted to get to the Bitches, the famous tidal playwave spot in South-West Wales that hosted the inaugural world rodeo freestyle event, back in the day when the boats were metres long and pop-outs, paddle-twirls and fluorescent colours were all the rage. Being warned that my carbon Black Sheep wouldn’t surive being seal-launched, and with the tide being about 6.5m, the Rockstar probably wasn’t the boat to take either so I asked Aaron at Squarerock if I could borrow the Jackson FunRunner I took to the Grand Canyon, this long boat would make a perfect surf vessel.

Screen Shot 2014-08-22 at 18.47.18

The Big Sur wave on the Colorado River only comes in every 5 years or so when the snowpack is big enough to raise the flows on the Colorado in excess of 20,000cfs. Big Sur is a river wide party wave in a beautiful desert canyon that has everything from super shreddable pockets to mellow glassy rollers. When it came in during the early summer of 2014 Team Badfish rolled in and had some of the most fun sessions of the summer together. Continue reading
