Cheers for the nod boss! It has been a while hasn't it...

Well i will keep things brief. When i was at my job on my gap year i had a lot of time on the pc,...and free internet hence the serious posting! I remember this forum when it had about 2 posts in it...and just surf patrol hanging about. Back in the day!

So yeah i am now at uni, warwick uni in fact, and i am SO busy rushed of my feet. Totally landlocked uni, so no surf for a while, but i have picked up lacrosse, which is pretty awesome and violent, and the guy in the room next to me just got an indo board which is pretty rad! Im stoked, just managed to do a 180 on it...

I made it to south america, 10 weeks through ecuador, peru and chile, where i caught some good waves among other things. I posted while i was there in the surf trips section. My advice to anyone: "GO TRAVELLING", it changes your attitude to life completely, and just opens your mind! You'll know what i mean if you go.

Made it to the Arctic too, on an expedition. That was awesome.

So yeah, last surf i had was in Croyde last summer, we had a peachy week, and pretty good surf, so i now own all my own stuff, apart from a board :( but i don't have a roof rack yet, but i am looking into it.

Anyhowz ive got free internet here at uni, so i'll have a look see on the forum now and again!

How you all been keeping?

Ditto K Mac but hey Duncs you sound like a legend round here!

Lol i don't know about that! But thanks anyway. Off the top of my head i'd say: Plettenberg Bay - South Africa, Mancora Beach - Peru, and you can't knock Croyde Bay - Devon!!!!! People often forget that you can have a huge laugh in blighty too...
