Anyway are you trying to get a conversation about localism and crowded breaks going here?

I say the breaks are for everyone, there is no such thing as ownership. Mutual respect for people and the environment combined with wave etiquette goes a long way man. Anyone who gets stressed over the waves we have in this country should get their head examined.
Last time I checked, my car was a 1.2 Renault Clio worth about £1000, hardly a slick beermer, and I am not sure if living in backwater, rural Essex makes me a city weekender…

Peace…

In Cornwall, as elsewhere, angry confrontations spark up between local surfers and newcomers. For those locals who cannot afford to buy a home, the mere presence of BMW-loads of City weekenders surfing their secret spots is a provocative act.

I don’t know what was more scary; the 6ft face or Ben falling asleep at the wheel on the cruise back. Still, thanks to MacDee’s recycled chicken skin slurpies, we kept the Sand Man at bay (just a shame it couldn’t help the sand round the balls, man)… So a Big thanks to the B-boy for sorting a chilled weekend. Always nice to “Let off some steam Bennett”… Until then, via con dias!
