Thousands of surfers are petitioning to get the surfboard ban lifted. Surfers are now concerned that other airlines will follow suit and stop allowing Boards on their planes.

Anybody been affected by this ban? Personally I rent boards most places I go or friends tend to lend me theirs if I'm staying with them.

I tend to agree though I would like to see this ban lifted! Is it the same with Snowboards and skis?

Ben Haworth from North Devon being the youngest surfer in English Longboard Title Final beat his fellow competitors to take the crown.

The competition was held in Watergate Bay. This win makes Haworth one of the best young Longboarders in the UK and will definately help him on the professional scene.

The British Junior Surfing Team was announced over the weekend. 12 youngsters from around the UK have been chosen to represent the British Junior Surfing Team in this years Quiksilver ISA World Junior Surfing Championships. Which is being held in the South West of France between the 24 May and 1 June.

Can you imagine being that young and chosen to represent your country it's great for their surfing careers!

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 :)
