Local Personality HOCKEY

SURFING

We hear you’re ok at hockey!

So you're into surfing, what advice do have for people just starting out?

Yeah, I’ve played hockey all my life (since the age 5) and started as a youngster at Swansea Bay Hockey Club. I’ve gone on to captain every age group of Welsh Hockey and currently represent the Senior Team.

Beginners should always get a lesson with a local surf school to start. From that point onwards, surfing’s all about just getting in the water and enjoying yourself.

I’m sponsored by Adidas and aim to represent Wales in the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

“ To capture Gower at its best you have to understand the environment and the effects of weather patterns and tidal movement.You also need a sense of adventure and a desire to get off the beaten track. Finally, experiment with your camera and your creativity: if you’re using a small digital camera and taking a photo of the sunset, experiment by taking a few through the lenses of your sunglasses, you may be suprised at the colours produced! ”

REESY PHOTOGRAPHY Do you only do landscape photography? Although I specialise in landscapes, I’m always open to new ideas and recently did a wedding shoot and a number of international sports events which can be seen on my Facebook page. If you need a photographer for anything, then feel free to contact me, I’m always open to suggestions!
