Sorry about the lag in posts, I've been back in rainy old Blighty having the time of my life, largely focused around the Bellyboard champs (Or Surf-Riding as it should be more correctly called.) I slid in wool, hung out with a fantastic Cornish crew and wish I was still there. Posts will be thick and fast for a while, there's plenty of images!

Nah,it,s hipster shite.i work for the Trust,and believe me,it,s gentrifucked...should,ve hooked up with UKMS lot,they,re the core.
Mike, I heard similar comments at the event, but it was a great time anyway. What was really brilliant was seeing guys 'freesurfing' bellyboards on the day and at a bunch of beaches I surfed during the trip. It's a fantastic little niche and treated as 'real' surfing which it absolutely is.
Haha .. hipstershite ! love it , there's nothing hipster about the WBBC .. far from it thankfully ! But yep it's too popular now & with that comes change .. not always for the better ..
Definitely agree with that- the old geezer element outweighed the hipster element 10 to 1 easily! Actually, as I'm getting up there too I think the old folks should be the hipsters! Still think it was an incredible event, such a good vibe to it and much fun was had. Getting popular is often not a good thing for things like the WBBC, but it's definitely something you limeys can be proud of and hopefully will stay that way for a while!
