January Hibernation ??


Despite the snow outside Christiaan & I have been busy drinking tea & sampling rather delicious oatmeal biscuits at Sally P's all in the cause of this ply sliding lark ! Although cold we have had a few great swells this Jan & have managed the odd summer like slide albeit on those imposter stand up surfboards ... at which point i feel i have to moan a little .. At Christmas i hand addressed some 80 envelopes to the registrants at this years World Bellyboard Champs , hoping to invite some to add their own stories, pics etc to the forthcoming book , I waited expecting a deluge of mail & guess what ?

From the lovely Gwyneth with early 50's footage of ply sliding in Newquay ...
I know its cold outside & for some of you Bellyboarding is far from your thoughts but maybe its time to stop listening to all the doom & gloom go rummage & send us some stories , pics , old boards etc , we want to include all of you but cant do it without your support/input ...
Come on you lot summers coming ......
