Splash SurfBlog

Late as usual but just arrived in time for my shift as The Hog was approaching the car park canera in hand having shot a few from the earlier session..IF HE POSTS THEM lol

I wandered down the beach and set up the tripod on my usual corner ( you all know where) and the sun Kindly dissapeared behind a cloud and stayed there.. Freddie was still out catching a few choice waves..

Tucking in under the lip

and Plain Lazy Lumoxs was also out there thrashing about..

Off the lip Lumoxs Style

There was also a lot of shortboard action going on out there with Jonty on his  Bright green multi finned pleasure machine..

Jonty's pleasure machine

and a nice sneaky five over

and after all these years the man from the Mouse Trap game turned up on his longboard..

this may be too subtle for most

 Notice how his hands are behind his back for surfing   but it was a great wave for the longboards and there were plenty of those tubey things for everyone to play in..

Nicely tucked in

well that was how it was but of course the tide was creeping in and it wasn’t long before the backwash started being a problem to most… Always nice to see Keith (Flapper) Prowse out there enjoying the waves come rain or shine.. for thos who don’t know Keith was probably one of the first to ever surf Sennen all those decades ago.. in days when surfboards were a bit like black shoes are today in St Just.. rare as rocking horse shite..

Keith Prowse..

But then Keith is a rare kind of surfer.. a real Gentleman Jim of Surf and a really decent bloke to know.. hats off to ya Keith..

Well lunch beckoned so it was bacon sarnies from the cabin and then a move over to Praa sands as the tide was getting a little high here at Perranuthnoe..
