I saw the photos in the mail a few weeks back stating that the photo was taken by a photography student in St ives. For me it just
doesnt work out...... I know theres a lot of back wash which makes it look 3 times bigger than it actually is, but StIves is one of the
most sheltered spots on the coast, so how big was perranporth!!!! Also the fact that its a photography student makes me instantly
think, PHotoshop. Also would any body border or surfer capable of riding waves like that try paddling into a blatant all ready broken
close out!!!!!!!
I may well be wrong, but hey

Im with you shem, something just doesnt ring true on those photos. I havent been to St ives for a number of years but it doesnt look
like st ives to me, and as you say Perranporth would have been monstorous.
Plus in the first photo, the waves of white water infront of them is quite small, if they were out in waves that big there would be a
serious amount of white water for some time.
Also St Ives has some of the cleanest water in the country and that looks awful, i know alot of shite could of been churned up but it
just dont seem right.
I didnt read the story though so i may be missing something.
why tip toe through life only to arrive safely at death?
