Noe as in PerranuthNoe that is cos there was Fun.. all day long for those who got a parking space.. as I’ve said many times before though the South coast is a pig to shoot at this time of year but Lesson Learned last time I went up on the top looking down the line up so I should re-name the post Bum in the Sun owing to the amount of backsides I got as everyone took the right handers..

Still there were waves and there was Sun so who am I to complain.. I enjoyed the day and I sincerely hope you did, or will from the post .. If ya missed it well …. HA! you missed a sesh.

First off it was nice to see a few old faces like the original Chunky Bruvva Darren & the lovely Jacs, tho I have to say Dal what happened to your hair?? I Dread to think no seriously Missed those dreads Bro

And Tony was all over it having a Ball as usual

The other problem from shooting up above the waves on the cliffs is that it makes it difficult to see the size of the waves but these were a good chessy High on the set waves..

This next guy I apologise I don’t know his name, but for obvious Reasons, well to me at least, I’ll nickname him JT and this second shaot was to become my pick of the day cos it left me singing BeeGees all afternoon I just love that Saturday Night Fever Pose

Ever onwards and this guy (if anyone knows who he is please let me know) was all over the waves styling and bringing some great traditional manouvers mixed with radical progressive longboard surfing to the afternoons fun.. there were roudhouses and drop knees all over the place and in this second image which is difficult to see from the angle I’m shooting but I swear to you he is doing a Dane Peterson style hanging heels off the front of the board.. Excellent Surfing and a treat to watch.. so thanks for that..

Nice to see Minnow Green made it after missing yesterdays session at Marazion..

Also Nice to see Freddie and dave again, here’s Freddie and demonstarting that you can actually surf a longboard on its end if you’re a Granite Basher at least

and all afternoon the waves kept rolling in, the sun kept shining and the fun kept on going… as many got out many got in to replace them and redress the balance.. and for those who’d got out, especially in the case of Mr Barnwell the Surfhog himself, there was time to sit in the Sun drink tea and Cake and remarkable cakes sandwiches etc from ‘The Cabin‘ recover and get back in for another surf…

I love this sequence of dave its a kind of realisation moment as I watched him through the camera.. he takes off spots me on the cliffs.. squints for a better look and realises its me and the Hog Smile returns and he carries on with the wave.. Love it!.. see the insets on the bottom..

You’re a real star Dave.. and special thanks as for a lot of these posts wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for the info that comes from Dave and the fantastic Surf reports on Surfhog

Well on that Note, I decided it was time for me to make a move as I’m not supposed to be in the sun at all on this damned Chemotherapy but thats not gonna happen is it lol, so I figured I’d give up my space for someone else to get in and surf before the sun dropped away so I’ll leave you with a couple more styling shots on a nice hang 5 and a hope for a wave tomorrow..

Catch ya at the beach
