    No course for me (might still go for the wet-wipes though).

    Might head out early - haven't checked f/c yet. Any ideas?

    Yup.

    By the time you get home they'll be at school and you can doze the day away.

    Very Happy

    I called our illustrious leader earlier to check the time and told him I was going for a surf. He said "but you'll be all salty".

    ÂŁ75 of my own money to go on the course? I'll turn up f*cking naked for that:) price if I want to!

    Caerhays was sweet this morning. In at 7.30, bit weak at first but some real nice sets (3ft) rolling in about 30 mins later for a good while. Long breaking lefts off the rocks and connecting with nice reforms at centre of beach.

    Two kayak surfers out sharing the stoke and a shy porpoise!

    What friday mornings are made for Very Happy
