Centre of Excellence

We thought we'd go for the full cheese on this one - hence the sandwich! Wailin and Rach. Just got our Surfing GB Award through the post - Centre of Excellence. Waiting to get final confirmation, but we may be the only one's in Cornwall to achieve the top billing. Cool.

How's Surfing GB getting on? Hard to tell. But what I do know is that they have a good person in the office in Jo. She holds it altogether in what has been difficult circumstances. If I was asked to sit on the Exec (the answer would be, thanks but no thanks) the first thing I would do is sit Jo down and say, "What do you want, what do you need?" Simple as. She knows better than anyone what goes on. And my directive would be "Come up with a master plan that concentrates on the basics. Take those basics and cut them in half - make it even more basic. Promise nothing. Build slowly."

Has it been busy on the beach? Not so bad! We've had a few schools in - all seems under control. A nice busy as opposed to a nasty busy. Sun's out, light breeze on the 2ft surf, sound of laughter coming from the beach, I'm eating a chicken burger with sweet chilli sauce, yep all's well in the camp.
