CrapSurfer

Within the crap surfing community, the legendary Dave Leach is considered by many to be the de 'facto world champion.

Dave has been surfing for many years without showing any visible signs of improvement. Here is a still frame from a masterclass given by Dave at Tolcarne beach in Newquay earlier this month.

We say:
Watch and learn from the master!
Dave Leach you are our first hero of Crap Surf.

Its time to pull on those identity concealing gimp caps, get out the 6 mm elephant hide stinkers from the shed, pull on those cheesy booties and head out to face the high seas and screaming onshore winds. For that time is once again nigh, yes, you poor deluded fools, AUTUMN IS UPON US And it time to remember the true meaning of the words OH MY GOD, I’M GOING TO DIE!

So: to those of us caught on the inside, those of us lost on the outside, those of us cowering in the car park and those of us weeping beneath the duvet. We say, SAY IT LOUD, I’M CRAP AND I’M PROUD!!!!!

Yes welcome back from our long super flat summer.

We are just about to launch into the autumn with tons of crap initiatives.

Crap surfers ball to be held in West Cornwall. This event will eventually rival any local quiz night in any large village anywhere. Featuring: live band, DJ and as they say in all unstructured acts of hopeful foolishness: MUCH, MUCH MORE. Webcam for those who cant make it?

We are also looking for a bucking bronco machine to attach a swell board to (is that legal). So any help or ideas would be MOUCHO appreciated

We are waiting for are BBC crap surfer cameraman Mr. Jamie (long board in the attic) Carol to stop fooling around with stuff like the Mobos and the Kooks documentary finish the long awaited ‘Heroes of crap surf’ movie shot at Gwithian in August. The film is the perfect antidote to anything you sit in front of and say “Wow that’s amazing, those guys are so cool”

Thursday 28th Sept, 2006 Sennen cove, West Penwith.
In a dramatic encounter with the notorious Sennen cove rip current. Senior surfers: Donald and Megan Sainsbury were rescued by the quick thinking and hard paddling of Cornish crap surfing duo Hazel Selly and Jessica Box.

With the Sennen life guards packed up for the season and a rising swell on an incoming tide, this most idyllic of Cornish scenes masked the chilling potential for disaster

“I was just having a float about” said: seventy-six year Donald, a 23-year holiday veteran of Sennen beach, “When suddenly I looked up and I was out at sea. I called to Megan and she came out with the body board but it was no use, the current was too strong, we just couldn’t get back in”.
