The Real Mark Harris

I have to back track a bit now as I am getting lazy with this blog already! I must try harder! Beck's working tonight btw!

Beck and I had the week off from 11th April so we headed down to Cornwall for the start of it, the only thing is it was; yep you guessed it; flat! Well near as damn it anyway! Loggable but without a log it was unsurfable! I did get in with Blocko though on the Sunday!

We went down to the Minnack Theatre which is an awesome place, the weather was wicked, we saw a pod of about 50-60 dolphins and I spotted some people on the nuddy beach which was funny. I mean really naked in the second week of April, the guy must be really desperate to get a black willy! Does a suntanned willy make a bigger willy? I've heard that black willy's are bigger than white!

Anyway back to surf reporting:-

As above me and Blocko went in for what I thought was a real desperate session at Godreefy (A little to the right of Godrevy but over the rocks at high tide, me and Blocko like to rename spots for fun!) It was actually quite fun we took it in turns to be the giver and the reciever and not in a gay way just a bit camp! We even had a little crowd taking photos and stuff! It's amazing how tired you get in 1ft surf, turn and burn and paddle straight back out and turn and burn again and so on!

First session without boots finally! I really do hate wearing boots! I had a site visit for work at Launceston at 2.30 conveniently arranged by myself so after I then headed to Watergate to meet up with Blocko (New daddy) the sun was shining and the surf was 2ft+ and clean I was pretty happy to be in the water and getting paid at the same time! Got a few waves under my belt too which was nice!

I had one of those antagonising mornings at work where I really could not decide whether the surf was going to be clean enough or not! Trev Toes Lumley reported 2-3ft and clean in the morning but I knew the wind was westerly and only getting stronger! I was listening/watching to the asp in Brazil and talking to people on Eyeball at the same time a couple of which (Ramon esp) had just been surfing so I got a recommendation that it was worth the trip from Exeter! He was right it was head high on the sets and alot cleaner than I thought albiet a little choppy, I had a couple of bombs from outback right into the beach, it got shit at high tide so I headed in.

This is where it all got a bit painfull, I parked at the National Trust Carpark not thinking about the fact that the shortcut over the rocks is not accessible at high tide, therfore Ihad to walk the long away around with bare cold feet, I felt like I had wore my feet down to the bone by the time I got back to the car!
