perranporth

This is written a little retroactively. From Friday 21st March to Monday 24th we (a random assortment of 11 people) headed to perranport for an Easter surf. Unfortunatley the weather had different ideas. so we spent the first 3 days in a caravan while 35mph winds threatened to destroy us. At one stage Andrew open the door only to be completely sucked out as the door was ittle thrown open at force. So inevitably we drank a lot, ate a lot and watched a bunch of crap films. became a little bit of a mission to find the worst films on sale in cornwall. Godzilla vs King Kong turned out to be a bit of a classic as did maniac cop. Storem featuring Luke Perry and Jet featuring Kiefer Sutherland were so much arse it was untrue. Pie and mash shop in Newuay was a bit of a winner.

Finally on Monday before we came home the wind dropped enough, and luckily at south fistral there was a little bit of swell so we paddled out for a few. It wasnt to bad, especailly with the longboard. Nothing too special tho, a little too cold.

It was all good though the whole weekend both Andrew and myself knew that we were heading to the sunnier climes of Morocco the following week so never got too depressed. Of course I can't speak for the others.

This trip may have also started an obsession with the film Basket Case. The phrase "Whats int he basket" has been used a lot recently. The funny thing is we only watched the trailer. WEll 3 trailers.

Found a great little pub in the middle of Perranporth. I forget what it was called but we had some great games of pool. Played Pro Evo on the PS3 on their projector and got 12 shots of teuila free when, the bar monkey was clearly more interested in playing air guitar to Slayer/Metallica that charging for the round.I felt pretty rough on the Monday morning.
