Phil Houghtons mate, I think I asked you about the surf when you'd got out.





So there's 20 to be going on with, but this post will be updated, and the identities will be put here and in the riders post too.

As you can see A few people have been partially or wholly identified by Chris Levi, I've coloured their details orange so you can tell at a glance who's now known.

The permanent links to the posts can be found directly beneath them, there's a "#" symbol which links to the post, and also in the "Previous" section of the sidebar on the left.

This post will have a list of all the riders that are going to be on the DVD, that I know, it'll be updated as new footage is accumulated, and I'll put up an "Unkown" gallery soon, so people I don't know can be identified.

I'll do it in alphabetical order based on surname, if I don't know someones name I'll just use what I know, apologies for spelling and other mistakes, feel free to correct me if you notice one.

here goes:

1. Alex Allen
2. Matt Allen
   
3. Steve Brown
   
4. Ali Daniels
5. Sean Daniels
6. James Diffey
   
7. Aaron Dinham
8. Damien Dinham
9. Paul Eddistone (spelling?)
   
10. Evans
11. Chris Fletcher
    
12. Dan Goddard
    
13. Matt Hawken
    
14. George Heron
15. Hilly (Cornwall)
    
16. Mitch Holmes
17. Phil Houghton
18. Keith (W Wales)
    
19. Chris Levi
20. Laurie McCall
    
21. Chris Milford
22. Ben Pascoe
23. Sam Perry
24. Ryan Phelps
    
25. Ben Poole
26. James Preselo
27. Damien Prisk
28. Matthew Pritchard
29. Ryan Sheppard
30. Mark Side
    
31. Lewi Skinner
32. James Sutton
33. Rich Tebbs
    
34. Stu Thomas
35. Tim (Portreath)
    
36. Danny Wall
37. Franky Whitwell

So look out for the unkowns gallery soon, I've probably forgotten some, so check back or give me a hint as a comment.

About time for another post, Merry Christmas everyone,

I'd have liked to say I was too busy surfing, but I haven't, dealing with knackered cars and christmas meals etc. instead.

Managed to get one decent surf in over the christmas period though, evidence of which is on the rsk site here: http://rskonline.co.uk/action.html

We got a few waves from two angles, so I'm thinking of doing this session as a one-off short section, maybe with some electro sounds.

Talking of sounds, any recomendations for music for the collective?

currently I've got these artists picked out:

Michael Jackson
Annie Lennox
Max Tundra
Beastie Boys (a mash-up mix of intergalactic)
Wizo
The Ramones
Mount Sims
Frank Black
Basement Jaxx

and possibly:

Panic! at the disco
Gravy Train
Stevie Wonder

so any suggestions along those lines, or completely different?
