DIPLOMATIC DILEMMAS
After leaving home at 5am we‘d already made it to the Severn Bridge by 9am, right on schedule to be at Newgale by 11. Just as we hit the Welsh Border we received a call from Pura Vida Boardriders’ Jim Brookes-Dowsett bringing positive news that Newgale was already, windy, head high and building fast.
However, Jim had some further news to add into the equation, by mentioning that the following day was lining-up for a perfect point break further round the coast and that, when it works, the spot is ‘as good as it gets!’. Just as I put the phone down Jamie received a text from his girlfriend promising an amazing dinner and a cosy evening in. It was clear he was destined for trouble as she’d gone out of her way to provide her man with his just rewards for coming home promptly after a long day out on the water.
