Oliver Kurtz dials up the UK

That's right baby, England. I arrived here last week to compete in the 5 Star WQS Contest at Fistral Beach Newquay in hopes so score some fun waves, get some points to boost my rating, and get out of the dead flat conditions that Central Florida has literally had the whole summer. I realize now that's exactly what I did, made a good chunk of change, got some solid points, scored some really fun waves, but I didn't do as well as I wanted to in the contest.

 

But all in all it's been a really fun trip so far and it's unlike any other place i've ever been in the world. (and it's always fun to visit the mother country) Now I'm sitting here in London, taking in the scenery, doing a bit of touristy stuff, and just chillin' with my parents in the not so great weather. I'll be here for three more days, then i'm off to France to compete in the contest in Bordeaux next week. I've never been to France and I can't wait to visit the place and eat some baguettes and hopefully get some more fun waves!

Anyway, here are some pics from the trip thus far. I didn't realize it but I'm kinda getting into photography a little bit. I always end up taking frames of scenery and stuff so hope you like these... — O
