Well 2014 has been an eventful year to say the least. Here are a few snaps!
My 30th Birthday with a look back over the last decade. It seems I haven’t changed much, hopefully I’m a bit wiser though.
I went surfing with the girls, we worked out that we hadn’t been to the coast together in something ridiculous like, four years.
The fam headed to Portugal for yet another surf trip.
Wakeboarding season started – which is always a winner.
Summer vibes with one of the best summers I can remember (weather wise).
A lot of fitness, workouts and bootcamps.
A summer filled with Girls Days and Ladies Mornings around the country 🙂
A family trip to the coast and first surfs. As did his trusty green spade.
I hosted and coached the Kids Clubs over at BEP for the first summer!
Coaching and assisting on the British Team Development Camps with British Waterski and Wakeboard which were held at various lakes around the country…
Nationals at JB was a fun event as always…

Surfing Storm…
Shooting with Mike from Mac Mac Photography is always fun 🙂
Celebrated our five year wedding anniversary. Snap from our honeymoon in Bali Bali Baliiiii! Those cocktails were lethal. We have to go back.
I coached over at Heron Lake with the Battle Back guys which was amazing.
Filming the 2014 edit with the WSW Team – always a good time to be had.
I learnt how to sell a property abroad! A trip to sunny Spain where I had to say goodbye to my folks gorgeous apartment. I’ll miss that place.
I won the Rail Royal over at BEP which was pretty cool.
And the Clothes for Kids comp at JB was a great way to round off the season…
Jon and I had a baby free weekend at the coast – A-MAYYYY-ZING. We really lucked out with waves too, bonus!
Of course another surf trip to Portugal but this time with some of our best buds which was amazing!
We were there to witness a tow-in session at Nazare – which was insane! Spot the ant…
First snowboard with the Burton guys…
My Dad finishing Chemo, whoooohooooooo!!!!!!!!! We found out in April that my Dad had bowel cancer. Within six weeks he had an operation to remove the tumour and then swiftly started chemo. I’m very pleased to say he has just completed his eighth and last round and is still beating us all at golf.
Christmas…
New Years…. now just gotta work out some New Years Resolutions. Not that I ever stick to them. However, I’m going to start swimming as theres a brand new pool right near me so thats one thing. I think its time to get Ethan on a wakeboard.. I’m heading to Florida in February which I’m super excited about! There are more wake and surf trips in the pipeline as well, just finalising some destinations. More coaching, more fitness, more shoots, just more of everything!
2014 you have been one crazy year and I have a feeling 2015 will be even more so.
Happy New Year everyone xx
