Scarborough Surf Festival!

 
 

The land locked surfers club are beginning to wonder if we're a jinx for the Scarborough surf festival. Its the second time we've attended and the contest has been cancelled due to none existent waves. Ok, that's not strictly true this time at least we had some cheeky 1-2ft fun waves to play on. So it wasn't exactly epic surf but as ever it was another wonderful LLSC weekend. On this trip we shared a magical moment with a fox who came up to us like a timid dog, I found a gorgeous vegan restaurant, we surfed on a beautiful secluded beach, played in casinos and we even raced around a caravan site on go carts. 

That's the awesome thing about going on surf trips with friends, you never fully know what to expect but you always have a good time. Speaking of friends, here are some of their beautiful photos documenting the trip. Thank you Jemima Stubbs and Christine Wilson! 

 Just some of the LLSC new and old in Scarborough. 

 Surfing is a real serious business....

 Surfer girls who have to wear jumpers! 

 This stunning shot was captured by my ever talented friend Jemima. The fox was so inquisitive, we all had the pleasure of watching him for a good half an hour, he even ate cheese offered! 

These girls are some of the most important people in my life, they are what make surfing so epically wonderful! 

Until next time 
Stay strong, surf well

 My darlings, I haven't forgot you. 

I have embarked on the hardest journey of my life and for now this is absorbing most of my attention. I have managed to have a little surf session at the Scarborough surf festival (which was cancelled again because the waves were...well mush burgers). I'll post about that soon enough. 

For now I am a fully immersed yogi. Which basically means my only thoughts are yoga based and when I'm not practicing I'm writing about the philosophy. In a couple of weeks the blog is going to have a total revamp, a surf/yoga themed revamp. 

So for now I bid you a fond Namaste. 

Stay strong, surf well 
Love

Scarborough Surf Festival 2013. 

The waves were flat, flat as a witch's tit, the surf hostel was filthy and I barely slept.
My gosh it was wonderful! 

The beautiful union of The Landlocked Surfers and the Saltburn aficionados (local surfers from Saltburn, North East England) resulted in another great surf related event, I honestly enjoyed every moment of my weekend to the point of not wanting to go home! 

There's something about people from the North of England which makes me love them irrevocably. Its the familiarity of their accents, the open way they think and talk and their industriousness. I love their frankness and the way they are able to poke fun at themselves. 
On Saturday night I found myself in a local pub in Scarborough being led round by the hand of the sixty something pub landlady showing me photos of people through the years. She posed with us for pictures and wished us 'Good night, God bless,' when we left. Its that level of friendliness which makes me seriously contemplate upping sticks and moving up North. 

I think a picture speaks a thousand words so enough of my waffle. 

The beautiful photos are courtesy of Adelle Sophie Gough thank you my darling! 

 

     























The next few snaps are a few taken by moi and the good ones by Adelle on my phone! 

  

     

    

I love North sea surfing! Thank you to everyone who participated in this weekend - the word is STOKED. 

Until next time...

Stay strong, surf well.
