I remember a few years back I had one of those light summer jacket type things that was capable of adapting so it could cover yourself & equipment if out in the field - yep ex-military thing.
On this particular day in June I had been surfing on Fistral since sun up (glorious day

) & it was about 11am & conditions had dropped to almost flat. So returning to the beach I decided to have some chill time reading when I heard/saw a storm coming in from the good ole Atlantic.
Despite the time of year there were a few families on holiday so the beach whilst not over crowded it was busy. So as the first spots of rain come down I get my jacket out, put it on, cover myself & my
backpack & continue reading - then the heavens opened !
It was soooooooo funny watching these people pulling up windbreaks & gathering their stuff & kids before running either to Pentire or Fistral Blu - especially despite the lightening, downpour & thunder blue clear skies could be seen coming from out to sea
Twenty minutes later you would have had no idea of the passing storm & I spent the next few hours reading & sunbathing on an empty Fistral
So if it rains fella just go surfing !!!
