I am staying at perranporth, but due to imminent flatness will be travelling up to 20 miles either way up or down the coast :D to find waves!

Sharks are very misunderstood creatures, they only want to play!

I swam past one the other day and I'm sure i heard it say,' it rubs the lotion on its back' :shock:

There's not many waves at Sennen according to Magicseaweed.com, the sharks wont be there if there arent enough surfers to chew on. :D

I surfed there Friday for the first time, you can see the rips from the road, from the harbour, worth stoping at the car park above the bay to check em out too :lol:
