Fireworks in the ocean!

The Autumn swells are continuing to roll in and, frankly, this year is one of the best I can remember. I’ve spent most of the last week surfing all the out of the way breaks that hardly ever get swell and even the big British newspapers (Telegraph, Express and Mail) have featured the colossal swell that came through last Sunday. I just hope that it can continue right through winter.
This crazy week of swell actually started on the Saturday which happily coincided with the British Nationals that were taking place at Newquay.

Congratulations to local lad Harry De Roth who caught some double overhead (not that hard when you’re only 4’6 tall) waves and surfed them to a well deserved victory in the under 14’s category. GAS employee Paddy Daniel also managed a creditable 3rd in the under 18’s category.
Good on you both.
Meanwhile back at Gwithian we are continuing with our Junior Surf Club for as long as conditions allow. The surf has dropped of a little this weekend but there is still plenty of quality surf to be had. Better yet the forecast for next week is a beauty – offshore winds and reasonable swell.
And the weather?
Who cares, I’m gonna get wet anyway.
