Yep we’ve got 2 hours left of work and we are off. Fuerte’ here we come, surf, sand, sun and well for the other two boys, maybe some action, but I am on best behaviour, all good!

Boas ondas!

Just doing the final pre-holiday weather check and yep I can confirm its looking good, but don’t take my word for it, check out the forecast! Yep I predict surfing in the sun in board shorts, relaxing with a few beers and eating some nice tucker, oh yeah, 60% of the time it works all the time!

Yep it is also official that Team Crayon are going to be hitting up the beach and reef breaks of Fuerte’ in 5 days. The water’s about 23 degrees and the air temp is 24, can’t complain with that as it is about 11 degrees here right now!

All that needs to be decided is which boards to take, can’t wait! Hope my cold shifts before I head off!

So me and The Deano are hopefully heading off to Newquay to surf this weekend. The charts are predicting a solid 7ft swell @ 12 seconds for Saturday, with the winds coming from the right direction, so hopefully we’ll be getting wet round about Saturday lunchtime. Hoping to take a few snaps and will report back next week on how it goes.

British Airways have decided to ban the carriage of surfboards on all flights as of the 6th November 2007. This move is absolutely outrageous and means that surfers (including professionals) cannot carry their boards with them when they travel. A Facebook Group: British Airways Surfboard Ban has been set-up and I would urge fellow surfers to join and lobby them. Even if you don’t fly BA, this move will more than likely have a knock-on effect and other airlines will follow suit.

It is like saying to Golfers or cyclists that they can’t take their equipment with them when they travel, absolute bulls*it, unless they change their policy, my last trip to Brazil will be the final time I deal with BA.
