Congratulations To Gower Surf

Simon Jayham is passionate about surfing, he also loves to write about it on his blog and this combination has brought him more peer recongnition (he regularly features on news sites, like the Times Surf Blog). Just last week Simon's weblog, SurfGSD, became a TypePad Featured Blog - if you're a TypePad blogger, this is indeed the badge that  will put a smile on your face! Over the years Simon has managed to combine blog articles with , YouTube videos, Flickr photos and even slideshows on Slide. His site is a nice mixture of articles about places he's visited (Hawaii, Madeira, Portugal), surf stories from around the world, things that interest him - rugby, Glastonbury, local stories - and obviously his own surf school - Gower Surf.

It's quite pleasing for me as I introduced him to blogging and TypePad when he came on my eMarketing Award course a couple of years' back. More importantly for Simon it looks like he now has a new buddy at TypePad Headquarters in San Francisco who is a keen surfer!

Well done Simon!
