impressive. the last 17 years of surfing in kernow had left me with the impression that surfers bloody hate one another. i thought only spongers got on ok. the welsh boys have humbled me. fair play lads.

Not a very positive comment mate - they're paying their last respects to a local legend

I saw a tribute like this back when I was 8 in 1982 learning to surf at Piha in New Zealand. It was for a young lad who died on the roads above that spot (the few on MSW who've been to Piha will know what I mean) All his young surfing buddy's and family where there and it was a moving and proper send off. It is something that has always stuck with me. Great job to all involed.

a true dream, for a departed surfer to have this kind of send off, one would think ;-)

Wave buddha, Do you have a brain? I'm sure you have just offended lots of people.
