Hello there,
what a kick off to summer we've had in Cornwall. Sun, cracking surf and a lot of contented, brown (or red and blistered), and surfed out people wandering about last weekend. I sneaked a couple of fun surfs on my new TVS 5'10" quad, obviously the lack of length compensated by sufficient girth to float me and my gut !! Managed to wiggle me way along a few sunny little waves at a couple of spots and went off to work full of the joys of spring, well early summer really. Heard stories of cracking banks at **********, ******** and also *********(find 'em yourselves you buggers!).Bledy 'ansome down here when she's like that.
Got extra happy when Julie suggested a surf trip to Bali in September.... how can life get any better ? Quick surf before work, spread a bit of surfboard love about during the day and then get home to find the missus booking Bali tickets. Incredible ! I haven't been on a surf trip for quite a few years (Lanza doesn't count.. I have to work there !) and already feel really excited although it's 3 months away. I'm so keen for it that I've been hassling the shit out of Keith Beddoe and Lenny Ingram for where to stay,eat and surf etc. KB's going in october and I think he's relieved we're only crossing over for a couple of days.
I've got fretting about boards to. Do I take an 8'6" just in case the Outside Corner comes on or do I just wing it with a 7'6" ? Will I need a fishy one for the smaller days or do I just take a spare 6'4" ? Channel bottoms or do we I try a bit of Slater Pipe styley madness ? I could just whip
Banks, a Linden and a Brewer out of stock and be done with it, but am I better working with Matt Barrow and adapting the Bilbos he mad for the Canaries this winter to those beautiful bali breaks ? What to do, what to do ??!!!
Enough wingeing for now, I'm off to fondle a few sleek fiberglass sleds and dream of dropping in KB at Padang Padang.
Cheers now,
Smally.
