kingsurf gets in the daily mail and the independant.

The following day, it's wet again, but that doesn't matter. On a trip to Mawgan Porth, surf dude Pete, of King Surf, gives us a lesson. Having tried surfing before, I know his efforts are doomed, but it's great fun. The culinary stakes are raised again with a delicious lunch at Fifteen.

Home-time dawns, but not before we walk the dog one last time at Mawgan Porth and hole up in the cafe for one last mug of tea. Yes, it still rains in Cornwall, but I won't leave it another ten years to return.

Despite my incompetence, our sojourn provided the most fun that we've had in a very long time. Surfing (or even just trying to) doesn't half get you fit, and it's exhilarating to spend so much time in the sea, even if you do end up drinking most of it. And if your teacher is the effervescent Pete Abell, owner of Kingsurf at Mawgan Porth (01637 860091; kingsurf.co.uk), you'll end up with kids with serious surfing addictions.

Their back!


Summer's on it's way! Kingsurf is glad to confirm that the 2008 team are all coming back for another summer of fun. 
Tom has been away coaching in Fuerteventura this winter whilst Pete and Scuba have braved a winter in Cornwall with a couple of ski and surf trips in-between. 
The surf has been really good  despite the cold water and the snow this winter.I have also seen a few great long term weather forecasts for this summer so we should get the sunny summer that we have all been waiting for! 

Look forward too seeing you all at the beach!
