Some absolutely colossal waves coming through at Godrevy today. It wasn’t a great day for surfing, just far too windy and way too much swell for Gwithian to be anything other than a mass of bubbling, foaming mayhem. A good day to catch up with paper work and sneak off to Praa Sands for a quick high tide surf though.
Its looking like there will be a fair bit of mayhem on land this weekend with the ‘We are One’ Festival taking place at the Sandsifter this weekend. The big marquees are up and it should be a busy one.
Meanwhile in Peru Paddy Daniel has been dealing with some hefty waves too. Sadly he has been knocked out of the comp now but he took a few scalps while making his way to the fourth round. By my reckoning this makes him about 40th in the world for Under 16 surfers and that ain’t bad. A few Brits are still left in the comp with Jobe Harris in action later this evening. Keep your fingers crossed for him and the rest of the British Team. A 10th place or higher finish, and therefore better seeding, would make things a lot easier for next years team.
