  1. Watching this brought back memories of 1966.I lived and worked in North Devon at the time and became a keen member of the Woolacombe SLSC.

    As I said, long waves and long nights waiting for a swell to come in.Catch it first at saunton, follow in around to Croyde then jump in the car andd head for Woolacombe and hope it had kept its shape.

    ‘Happy days.’Best happy days when I went with other members of the club to Porthowan for the Cornish open in the late summer.

    I’m sixty seven years of age now but as I said those were some of the best days in my life.Great lifestyle and great people.

    All you guys and gals keep up the good work and ‘keep the faith.’

    ‘Happy surfing’ and may you always catch the final wave.
