ACADEMY

Yesterday was cold. So cold that as we walked up the steps at Gwithian I nearly cried and Oran announced to the group that he "was upset". Quote of the day by far.

Regardless the boys shredded again and it just goes to show that pushing each other as a group is the best way to improve their skills.
Connor, relatively new to the club and stand up surfing is fast becoming a stand out. He's competitive, however he shows grit and self discipline which I'm excited about. Isaac, giving us the shaka, is a naughty grom with heaps of talent and oozes charisma. A bunch for the future for sure.
Cheers for tuning in again. Ill be on it now I'm home and with small waves and offshore winds ill be in the sea again to snap some water stuff.

Thursday training with Man flu demoting me to the beach. A few snaps of the boys and girls busting out.

Soooper 8

So the last time I filed a reel through my Nizo was nearly a year ago. The increasing cost and time it takes to get the film back was over shadowed by my new Canon 7D and its superb video quality. Yet a few days ago at an auction in Penzance, I spotted the cleanest, best looked after pair of cine cameras. 

Quids in (literally £2) I scored both and theres no stopping me. 

Film on its way and a nice little trip to France next week, expect a short edit soon.

A few trips to worry/get excited about first but the focus shortly is on Morocco an the grommet squad we are taken out. Here's a teaser for the boys and girls. 

grom squad

Dream team. Never a dull moment with our grom elite. Good news too as we have finally booked the plane tickets to take this bunch of surf rats to Morocco. A 16 strong team of groms and instructors all ready and amped (like you wouldn't believe) for some culture and barrels. 

BLUES

 For the first time in many years, Ive reached mid Septemeber without those End of Summer Blues. Maybe with so many things to keep me busy and planning our first surf school trip for our elite team to Morocco, I've maybe felt occupied.
However, finding a few pics from last year September trip to France hasn't helped!
Jordy Smith busting huge Airs and memories of warm evenings still pulling into massive bombs are just not what i need right now.

November - Morocco: SSC elite team Keep posted for more info!

BellyBoarder

Gavin Randall from Traditional Surfing co recently helped me out with a SSC bellyboard. Handmade in Cornwall they are super fun to slide and its brought a whole new meaning to surfing for me.
Check out their site and get your self some ply.

KOOK DEUX

G - Unit

Heading off to the big smoke this week, Grace has been the surf mum of the school. Quite often responsible for keeping us in order.
Grace is off to start a Physio degree in London. Best of luck Gracie and thanks for all your hard work and support this summer.

Cadets

Our finalists this year included Joss, Jacob, Jowan and Owen who took the Ashley Moffatt Memorial trophy for determination. Another great year. Thanks to all the parent who took their time to bring the groms to the beach every saturday morning. 

Fab Four

Our Elite squad has gone from strength to strength this year. A tough final saw these four fight it out on a good low tide Sennen bank. Jowan Allen took 1st place with outstanding back hand surfing while Oran Lynch destroyed left handers throughout the contest but only managed a few waves in the final. Still good enough to earn 2nd place. Jake Sage and Favio Owen-Bridge have proved their worth this year and we are amazed by their progress. Great final and a great crew. These four along with the rest of our elite squad will be joining us in Morocco for our first team trip. We are excited to see them surf in Morocco. Keep checking the blog and press for news on that trip
