BSKYB.

I need to put out a  BIG Thankyou To all the boys and girls involved with a project run at Budehaven school Cornwall in conjunction with BSKYB . Over the last 20 or so weeks Mr M Reay myself have been working with children from the school to teach them water safety Skills.With the aim to run a water festival on Summerleaze beach. This took place last month to link up with the Olympic celebration between the school and primary schools in the Bude area. Which was a great success.
Well yesterday as a reward to the boys and girls we took them for a surf lesson. Before we hit the surf the boys and girls brought out this surf board (picture above) They had been secretly working on this board with local shaper Jolly Roger and presented me with this board as a big thankyou for all i had done to help them.
For once I was lost for words.
Once again BSKYB crew a big Thankyou.     

Herbie Fletcher

This guy is so inspiring .Born in 1955 he still charges .side slipping his long board whilst noes riding in the tube would be a feat for any younger longboarder. watch and see if you get the same enjoyment i got from watching this clip.
