ASP ends, big wave wait begins

in ASP World Tour
Well it’s all over for the ASP surfing world tour for this year. Kelly Slater won the contest back in Puerto Rico, getting enough points that he could not be beaten, even though the contest had not finished. He actually lost to Jeremy Flores from France in the final in Pipeline, Hawaii.
It was his 10th time of winning the world tour. The next year’s event starts at Snapper Rocks in the Gold Coast in February next year.
There is a big wave event Waimea Bay, Hawaii running now, but because they are waiting for really big waves, they have a long waiting period for the contest; from now till the end of February. If the waves are not big enough (20 foot plus) the event will not run. We are waiting…!
Snow in Cornwall and no surf!!
01 year ago
Wow!! Cornwall is in the grip of winter! We don’t usually get snow or hard frosts in Newquay due our position near the sea. But this winter is shaping up to be frozen like last winter! We had loads of snow yesterday morning, and last night it was -10 on Dartmoor!! This is probably going to the coldest November in Cornwall ever!!
This morning the snow from yesterday is still here – now freally frozen, and the lanes are not yet suitable for driving as the snow has frozen into a thick layer of ice. We might take a trip out at lunchtime,… if it’s safe and we can wrap up warm enough!
More bad news is there is nothing showing on the surf forecast for the forseeable future either! We will have to stay fit by walking through the snow! That’s a new one!
We are dreaming of our surfing holidays to France and South Africa where we can enjoy good clean waves and sunshine…..
