On a recent trip to my Aunt & Uncles in Cornwall I had the rare opportunity to take to the waves. I hadn't surfed in around a year so was very eager to get out there and shake of the rust. But ney it was not to be on this wet and windy afternoon as soon as I walked excitedly down with my cousin's 7ft board under my arm to SandyMouth Bay a lifeguard approached and told me it was too dangerous to surf! He did however allow me to bodyboard not so far out so not a total letdown. The dogs got a walk too :)
