A mid-October scorcher, on a weekend, combined with rideable waves was too good to pass up. Arriving at The Ho on a falling tide, Hannah joined us for her first go at stand-up surfing. Tim and Chris also came to make the most of a beautiful day. In 1-3 foot swell Hannah impressed us by staying vertical brilliantly. The morning session ended with 20+ minutes when a porpoise mother and calf gracefully swam near us as we chilled out-back. After lunch, Tim and Jerry decided to have a board shorts session (on the 15th of October!!). Simo turned up with his new 8'6" SUP and proceeded to rip up the increasingly large waves, while Mr Grills put all of his 2011 experience together in a fine display of watermanship, with some lovely long right handers across shoulder high faces. We stayed overnight locally and enjoyed a walk on Sunday morning and then meeting lots of Simo's friends before heading back to see all the relatives at Taunton and 'Rio' the 12 week old collie. A superb weekend.
