Hitting the Surf

Just had a stonking 5 days in Cornwall, mainly sampling the seafood and some hugely generous hospitality on the Helford River. But on Sunday we crossed to the north coast for lunch at the Godrevy Café on Godrevy Beach, followed by a fabulous 2 hour surf lesson with Shore Surf School. It's been over 30 years since I last played around on a board (white polystyrene from Kentucky Fried Chicken, as I recall), but I managed to get to my knees half a dozen times and to my feet once during the session. I'll definitely be back...
