Young fella smiles, old fella smiles (and rants!).










Hello, hello from sunny Cornwall again. Not a ripple but more clear skies and warm breezes. It's great how a bit of summer gets people smiling isn't it ?!
Whilst I'm waffling on about smiles I have to say I've seen I've seen a couple of beauts in the shop today. The first was from up and coming Bude longboarder Lewis Stitch. He came in to pick up his new 9'1" Bilbo quad mal. Mark Neville had made an absolute cracker for the young fella, who at only 15 and currently 5th in the UK junior longboard rankings is looking to be a real threat in the next few years... watch out chaps!!!!
Lewis surfs with a progressive style but likes to noseride when in smaller surf, so if you see aclassic looking blonde kid thowing some cool turns and cross stepping to the nose at Crooklets in Bude this summer you can bet it's Lewis. Check out his new stick above. And Check out this footage on youtube:
The other smile was from KB....... there I was chatting to him about Bali yesterday and this morning he's in here with photos (of himself of course), waving his arms around and hand surfing his way around the Bukit Peninsula. Generally being the most enthusiastic surfer over about 21 I've ever met, which is bloody brilliant. Here's a little photo of Keith at Ulus Outside Corner on a meaty one........ you can see why the bloke gets worked up ! And another of Padang Padang looking sweeeeet!!!
Enjoy,
Smally.
