My dad @callumthom22 is a rad dad because even though he works shifts and chases swells all over he still manages to drag me and mummy along.
He may not share the best waves in the lineup however he shares his food with me (sometimes) #saltycrewraddad @salty_crew

Protecting the ocean doesn’t end when the protest does 🌊

After sharing my recent paddle out reel, I thought it was important to explain other ways I try to support the coastlines and wildlife that inspire so much of my work.

For the past few years, I’ve donated £1 from every print sale on my website to either @surfersagainstsewage or @wildlifetrustsww, with customers choosing which cause they’d like to support at checkout. Its not a lot but, as cheesy as it might sound, every little really does count.

I also personally campaign and fundraise for these causes and attended the paddle out protests because protecting our oceans feels bigger than just one moment online.

Its in the protests.
In the donations.
In conversations.
In everyday choices.
In the businesses we choose to support.

The sea gives so much to so many of us - joy, calm, community, adventure, connection, memories.

This business exists because of the coastline that shaped me, inspired me and continues to influence everything I create. So giving back will always be part of it 💙

Thank you for supporting a small business that tries to protect the places we all love!

When @callumthom22 calls it one of the best waves he’s had in Wales, you take notice. Somewhere out west this morning via the lens of 🎥 @gowersecrets

Faithful or Traitor??

Who is loving Celebrity Traitors?

Gripping TV and so addictive.
Can’t stop watching.
We are loving it at DRYBONES!!
Who will be banished next?

Alan Carr @chattyman is just hilarious but the whole celebrity cast are brilliant.
“I have a feeling about you!” 🤣💙

Presented perfectly by the exquisite Claudia 🩷🩷@claudiawinkle
“You are breaking my heart.
You’re not getting it.
What are you not seeing?
Open your eyes, please, because there is no let-up.
Another Faithful will be murdered tonight.
Sleep well – if you can”.

Went for a couple of small sunny sliders down the bay on the weekend and was lucky enough to bump into Alex @gowersecrets in the water whilst he was shooting. Thanks for capturing these shots man! And a great shot of Pete @pjsurf_shop and I having a catch up in the water. It was a fun morning indeed.
