Good to see some new members here... The body-boarding section seems to be getting quite busy these days.
Welcome to Forces-of-Nature!
Hope you have a good time in Cornwall.

Cool, thanks for that Al. I'm pretty new to bodyboarding as well, considering that in Bournemouth the waves are never huge, although
I've had my Manta for about 3 years, I can't get down to the beach all that easily with it and the waves are always rubbish. Ah well,
I'm hoping to learn a little in Cornwall. Maybe visit Rob Barbers school - have you been there?

I worked at Polzeath one year and had some epic days surfing there. It's just as good as Fistral but not quite as crowded... It still
gets too busy for my liking though.
