Let's go Surfin'

I've always loved anything to do with the sea and surfing. Although I've only ever done bodyboarding (which is great) I want to give stand up surfing a go this year when I go to Cornwall in July. This is a pic I have on my study wall from a surf mag. Really wish I lived closer to the sea, unfortunately it's well over 200 miles from where I live to get to a beach with at least half decent waves.
