Favourite Move Round house cut back - shame I have not done one for years! Favourite paddlers Darren Basson, shame he moved to Australia and David Speller Jersey. Jack Barker, England in an IC boat on a two foot wave, very creative. Favourite Surf spot There are so many! Thurso, Scotland but nearly always flat! Bokker Barrankar, Costa Rica (Sorry for the spelling!). Mundaka Northern Spain. Ireland (the whole of!). Sidmouth, South coast of England not that good but it is close! Worst beatdown My arm falling off in California, south of Santa Cruz, Dan Grandle will remember, he had a problem with his boat being in two pieces! Very embarrassing but meeting the lifeguard was well worth all the pain and suffering. Ambition To surf more and to retire gracefully after taking up the sport seriously. |
