Trip To Cornwall (again)
last weekend went Cornwall again…being a newbie , I’ve figured I should practice some surfing
took the train to Newquay,Cornwall… first board the train at Egham and then change at Reading for a 5 hours train down to south west of UK..
the scenery was quite nice..all things small english town charm and country side scenery…
this a view from the train when the train was crossing the Tamar Valley River just outside of Plymouth..
then the train arrived in Newquay..surf capital of UK
newquay train station
5 minutes from the train station is the Great Western beach..where I’ve surfed (or trying to!) surf for the second time..love this place..
stayed at Christopher’s Inn backpacker hostel..got to know this bloke Barry for Ireland who came down to Cornwall for some booze and i think he said he was paid to perform , he brought his acoustic guitar and all.. quite cool fella..
this is the view from the hostel during breakfast time..overlooking Towan Beach..quite neat eh? love this place..it is about 20 pounds a nite for bed sharing the room with 5 other ppl..
anwyay the second attempt at surfing and due to strong wind the waves wasn’t that good..again it’s quite hard to stand up properly….
being on the heavy side doesn’t really help too..
a board can hold up so much weight to remain buoyant and to float properly.. add extra 20 kilo to that board it will sink . just like below he he
anyway it was a fun weekend .. maybe I’ll get a longboard something around 9 foot long..this will help with the buoyancy I hope 
until next time..cheers!
