After a week of small but perfectly formed surf and relentless sunshine how do we celebrate? BBQ on the beach with a few well earned beers? Sat on the sofa watching the World Cup with a few well earned beers? Drinking well earned beers alone in the dark?

Nope to all three. This week surf school manager Ian and the work experience lad Josh celebrated by unpacking 50 new Redback surfboards, attaching 150 fins (three in each) and flat-packing two van loads of cardboard. And was it worth it?

Oh, yes. I’ve waxed lyrical about these surfboards before but I’m still as impressed with them as I was last year. They take an incredible amount of punishment, they surf similar to a regular fibreglass surfboard and are great for novices and more experienced surfers alike.

We will be using the vast majority of them for surf hire and surfing lessons but we do have a few spare ones for people to buy if they are in the market for a great beginner surfboard.

If you are in the area why not pop in, try one out and see for yourself.
