It’s ‘activities week’ at the local schools which means that the beaches are packed with hundreds of frothing teenagers and the lucky ‘work experience’ kids who realised that a week with a surf school means at least 4 hours in the water a day talking about surfing.
When I was their age I was sweeping the local surfboard factory and making flagons of tea for the shaper but I still managed a cheeky surf here and there. Best week of my life!
We’ve got three of them with us this year and they are doing pretty well so far. The wetsuits are cleaned and put away in good time and the back room has had it’s first decent clean of the year.
They’re rubbish at making tea though. If they don’t buck their ideas up they’ll have to make do with a proper career!
