Paul & Ivan both have VW vans. Ivan sports a LWB T4 and Paul a mint splitty. Paul sold his split a few years ago and has had a combination of Beetles, Wedgies and splits in between, but recently bought back his original split when the chap he sold it to decided he needed to sell it - he's a crazy dude ;)
It seems that the summer season is really kicking in now. The beach, and more to the point the sea, was rammed on Saturday! At times, there were 15 to 20 people going for a wave - all of them near novices - so you can imagine the carnage!
Now, I'm not one for localism. Let's face it - I'm local to nowhere. But I can understand why locals do get pissed at the outsiders on days like that.
Needless to say, Saturday was a no surf day. So we tucked into our "B" and headed down the Thatch for a swift (and massively overpriced!) brewski. The place was full of mid-twenty Bristol peeps. You know the type, nice hair, trendy clothes and a very slight posh accent all trying not to be (another good argument for localism??).
We decided to get up early on Sunday, in an attempt to miss the crowds. It was a shame to have rain that morning after such a hot sunny day on Saturday - but we were getting wet in the sea anyway. The surf looked a lot nicer so by about 8:30 we were in getting a pasting. No wallys in today, but unfortunately, I was performing just like one :( Paddled for loads but just couldn't catch any...
My new rashy worked a treat, but I will be sending my winter for repair very soon. A load of the sticthing has come out, the neck has all torn and a lot of the inner seals have come loose. Adam in Overhead in Newquoi will sort me out there though :)
