TIMO MULLEN WEST OZ DESERT RAT VIDEO

Timo Mullen skipped Tiree and his usual October haunts of Cornwall and Ireland this year for the desert waves of West Oz – looks like it was a good move by this video – here’s what he had to say –

”I have not been back to Western Australia for 10 years, my last trip was pretty epic so i knew it would take a lot to top that trip. It has been a pretty rubbish start to the windsurf season in the UK and Ireland so i started to look further afield for wind and waves, i saw that Western Australia was looking pretty good for swell but wind at this time of the year is always a big gamble. Not putting too much faith in my Antipodian meteorological skills, i consulted the guys at Severne HQ in Perth who gave me the thumbs up to book my flight. Thirty seven hours later i find myself in the middle of the Western Australian desert armed with my ice box, a crate of beer, snaggers (sausages), my Starboard Quads and my Severne Blades. For the next 8 days i sailed and surfed every single day in pretty much perfection, i probably banked 6 hours in the water every day more than enough to get rid of the jet lag!

I met loads of new and old friends, that is the great thing about travelling alone you meet people you wouldn’t normally meet if you travel with a group.
One thing i really did forget was how much the Aussies love beer, they drink it like water!!!”
