After all the hullabaloo (great word - must be used on a daily basis), they're off.
Pictured here is the British team about to depart for the 2008 Quiksilver ISA World Junior Surfing Championships, which take place in south west France from the 24 May to 1 June. The team is comprised of, in the Under 18s, Lyndon Wake, Lewis Clinton, Arron Evans and Stuart Campbell, while in the U16s are Luis Eyre, Josh Piper, George Picking and Toby Donachie. In the Girls' team the new 16-year-old champion Holly Donnelly is joined by Karma Worthington, Kathleen Spears and Tassy Swallow.
A lot has been said about this but all I'm going to say now is: good luck.
