Hi guys and Gals

I will be going to Nequay late august early sept. and I can't wait, Im sure it will be fantastic.
I haved lived by the sea most of my life, and now I have moved I miss it. I guess I took it for granted!! I want to get back to the coast and thought surfing has to be the best way to do so.

I will be having some lessons for a couple of days to get the hang of things(I hope!) I have been checking which school to do this with, and they all seem pretty kool. Dose anyone have any preferences? If any one has any advice it would would be great to hear from you! or if you to are going to a surfing school at around the same time, it would be kool to hear from you too.

I'm going down to Newquay this weekend for my first ever surfing lesson but haven't booked anywhere, is this a bad idea?

depends if you mind where you stay. i would try and book before you go so you dont spend the whole day going round places. some campsites may nhave spaces.

I've checked with Sunnyside and they've got pitches available if we're desperate but really wanted somewhere close to the beaches ideally, hoping to get it sorted before we go so we can just relax and chill with a beer when we get there.

Can't wait for it, just a shame about the 7 hour drive first

Captain & Cushty eh!? A pair of surfing crimefighters like Keanu Reeves in Point Break, except without the dodgy accent and wooden performance

Thats it,point break will be getting yet another screening at keona castle tonight

HARP
Special Agent Utah, this is not some
job flippin' burgers at the drive-in.
Yes, the surfboard bothers me. Yes,
your approach to this case bothers
me. And yes, you bother me. You
two have produced squat in the last
two weeks, during which time the Ex-
Presidents have robbed two more
banks!! Do you have anything even
remotely interesting to tell me?

UTAH
Caught my first tube this morning.

Absolute classic
