Nalu Beads hit up the French Coast...

Nalu Beads are branching out there product into Europe!
To kick start this launch Nalu Beads kindly supplied the Surf Affinity Camp with a workshop where I was lucky enough to give the girls a helping hand and get involved by showing how to braid their bracelets and thread the beads to create beautiful uniquely styled pieces of jewellery with different beads representing different surf breaks from all around the World and also beads which are named after old school surfers.

Having been lucky enough to have received some Nalu Beads before, I was able to share my knowledge of how to make the bracelets with the girls. I was able to work my way round the group demonstrating all the possible knots that can be used, from the smiles across the group showed the huge success of the work shop. Some of them have even gone home and bought some more beads to add to their collection!

They say a picture is worth a thousand words and I think the ones below prove this statement.

Check out the Nalu Beads website to see all the different collections and see what you can create! www.nalubeads.co.uk

Bonjour From Sunny France

So it's been a while since a last posted anything, this is because I am currently in the south west of France in Vieux-Boucau training for the summers contests and also helping at the O'Neill Surf Affinity Lifestyle Camp as an up and coming coach.
The camp consists of 8 eager girls all wanting to give the surfing life a go, with surf lessons, trips into Hossegor, Biarrtiz and a great Nalu Bead work shop what more isn't there to love.
Each and everyday has had perfect conditions for the girls to learn in and also for me to get in a train as well, by the end of the day everyone is so tired, it is great to relax with everyone finding out more about one another whilst eating our delicious well deserved dinners.

If you would like to try out the surfing lifestyle the check out the Surf Affinity girls in France on their facebook page http://www.facebook.com/surfaffinity or if you fancy giving it ago in North Cornwall then check out the deals with O'Neill Surf Academy at Watergate Bay on their website www.oneillsurfacademy.co.uk.

Below are  few pictures from the trip of the different activities we have been getting up to.








Stay tuned for a great video of some impressive skills coming soon....
