Surfing

I have just spent the last two weeks down in Cornwall, Kayak Surfing with the Joint Services of the Military. We had a mix of conditions from real classic surf the first week intermingled with the crowds of school half term! The second week was storm dodging but it meant that the groups visited a variety of breaks to get suitable conditions.

Below is a video clip of a 5 mins grabbed between coaching on a small surf day at Towan, Newquay.

Next week i will be working with the Students from Bangor Uni, North Wales, on their practical for kayaking. Loads of water about at the moment, so we should be in for a good week of river running.
