Graham. If I may ask, do you still surf and do you swim in choppy seas. I was a coward when I went swimming in Perranporth, when that swell came in and me feet didn't touch the ground plus that feeling of being dragged out , blimey no way.
Yes, I go swimming a fair bit, my surfing is limited to bodyboarding these days.
As you get older, there's less & less you can do purely for fun & a bit of excitement. It doesn't matter how old you are, or how crap you are, I'm fairly addicted. Also it's a great form of escapism - just forget the world for a while.
