A couple of things I neglected to mention.
First up, my brother Chris unexpectedly played a large part in my return to surfing. He was down here staying a couple of weeks ago and fancied a surf after the drive from Bristol. We paddled out at Sennen Cove, with the surf being about shoulder high and cleanish. I felt very uneasy for about an hour but eventually got a wave. Everything went well and, emboldened by this, Chris and I shared a party wave (in other words, I dropped in on him). Quite remarkable, really: in all these years, we'd never surfed together but there we were, riding the same pulse of oceanic energy.
Secondly, for August's surf-themed issue of Cornwall Today I had the privilege of meeting Alasdair Lindsay. He's a Hayle-based artist with a fine collection of vintage surfboards - and a nice line in paintings tending towards abstraction which remind me a little of work by Wolfgang Bloch, albeit that their palette is brighter. Alasdair's Sunset Surfer is shown here.
I love these shoes! These are my favorite MBTs. They fit great, are comfortable and look great!
