Home for Christmas...

One week i'm home the next i'm back on the road. Madness!!
Heres a few shots from recent weeks on the road..

Missing a gem

 Jayce Robinson on a nice little curl.

My favourite Bundorian Conor Maguire at his local loved Blackspot.

I got to spend some time with Tom "frothing" Butler too.

Jayce's modeling career has yet to really kick off but he believes he can do it..

 Lyndon with some late evening fun at the Peak.

Fergal pulling off this wave at Mullaghmore. One of the most powerful shots of my recent trips thats for sure. Mad to see someone paddling on the edge of waves like that. Amazing to see the boys pushing the paddling.

 Lyndon, Pros fall sometimes too.

This photo was taken during some of the maddest winds iv experienced. The news and papers were saying all different things, 50kph, 80kph, 100kph. Im not sure what this was but Butler was stuck in that same spot unable to fight the wind as he walked back after a surf. It was howling!!

 Few days later we have this. Its mad how quick weather changes in Ireland. Pre surf check at dawn in Mullaghmore.

 Paul OKane, man, myth, legend with a stylish bottom turn.

 Ronan Oertzen on a little gem. This is a fun fun wave.

In between that travel iv been busy setting up the new website and getting all the image ready for it. Im super excited about it. Its launching on the 1/1/12 and my great website designer Roo is working hard to get it all done for me, Thanks ROO!!!. So when your all hung over on New Years day you can go have a browse at it. :) http://davidolsthoorn.net/

The new Tonnta is out and its looking great.
I just got my copy today and im stoked with it. Plenty to read in there.
Check out the cover by Olivier longuet and go buy yourself a copy..

So thats it.. Really happy with the recent ventures. Iv been in the water learning more and more everyday and meeting loads of new great people. Loving it!

Plan for the next few weeks is to relax. Stay put in Whitestrand for the Christmas and enjoy some beverages with family and friends. Ahh Christmas!!!
Have a great Christmas & New Year everyone!!
Roll on 2012!!!
