lets face it surfingis not a common sport in the uk so the assessor wont really know much about it so should be pretty easy to get a good mark. i was tempted to do it when i was doing gcse pe but i swapped it for music. let us know how it goes if you decide to do surfing

By the magnitude of Uk surfers here.... I thought surfing was poular in uk like australia?

I talked to a guy last week that was on a high school surfing team in Southern California in the 1980's. I knew a guy a long time ago from Southern California that was on a high school motocross team. These are definitely cool things.
