happy new year,
the first monday of the new year is traditionly the most depressing day of the year.Fortunately ,this year its a bank holiday so at least most of you have the day off ,unlike me....However for those of you working today a few cheery facts...its only 9 weeks until march 1st ...spring, its only 12 weeks until the clocks change....easy surfing after work and its only 24 weeks until the summer solstice after which time we start heading back into winter...oh dear....
first on the list today is shaun from Farnham whose having trouble with his cutbacks....generally losing speed.There's a couple of things that have to be right when doing a forehand cutback...the easiest way to do 'em is look where you want to go ,open your front shoulder , and lead with your front arm (your left arm if you're a regualar foot).Also you must keep your weight and hold it on the left hand rail as long as possible, up until the point where you come round the corner and are about to rebound off the white water...that's the theory anyway!If you're surfing croyde watch out for Cotty as he has a particularly 'tasty' frontside cutty....
Next up is Felicity from Bristol who has 'short arms'.Felicity.., people quite often have trouble getting their arms around boards that are 22 or 23 inches wide, hence we can make you a slightly narrower minimal in the 21 inch width range for the same price as a stock minimal...the performance difference will be slight but you will be able to carry it under your arm which will mean getting to the sea will be a joy!....
jerome ......jerome .....jerome.....I may be hard up ,but anal gland evacuation is something I leave to the experts....
And finally this week I passed James Stentiford on the road yesterday and he gave me a cheery double thumbs up.I can only assume that his clacker calamity has been cured.......
stay cheerful,

Greetings Great Uncle Scoot. You failed to deal with my surfing problem yesterday, 2nd Jan. Has it got misplaced on your blog? did I not send it properly? has it got lost in cyberspace? or are you just being pissy 'cos you had to work on the bank holiday? This is a serious problem for me, man. See if you can find my question. I sent it under a comment, maybe that's the wrong way, but I can't figure out any other.
You can still follow us in the usual ways we will continue |to update our twitter feed and facbook page.
