snowboarding

Nationals was cool, weekend was the usual blur, Bugga are ace. Surf was shitholes, again. Winter is no good for intermediates, I've decided. It's either six feet and out of control/too powerful or onshore tiny mush. Very frustrating. Had a little surf Friday, gave up trying to paddle out at South Fistral 6ft closeouts, Tolcarne was 2ft closeouts no better. Practice late takeoffs then go straight. Yawn.

Surf's shit but who cares - I'm getting out of here and going snowboarding for a whole week!! I'm so confused about so many people and things right now, some more than others, that it's going to be great to be out of Newquay.

Word is that Newquay's getting a dry ski slope built - we're the only county currently without one. So cool – I move from one place with one to another! (ond Cymru am byth wrth grws). Time to get my own board and bindings, looks like about £100 on eBay will do it. Ramps here I come.
