Another fun video from the Preston Beach Skimboarders!

Sandskater bodyboard team rider Henry Irvine recently spent a few days in Cornwall to ease him back into bodyboarding after his broken arm earlier this year.

As part of the ritual, his bodyboarding chums (Chris & Mike) got him drunk, and then asked him some questions related to UK bodyboarding, and filmed the results.

The hilarous results of this little episode can be found below…

We have had a computer meltdown at the Sandskater shop this week, with Matt’s main computer going belly up!

Order processing and packing has been unaffected, so you shouldn’t see any drop in our performance there.

Some of the local grom’s found this spoof tourism video about Torquay on You Tube last year. It features “Moses Barrington” giving a 10 minute guide to Torquay. It went down such a storm, that “Moses” got featured in the local newpaper, and was hailed as a hero for publicising Torquay as a holiday destination.

Having been reliably informed by Chris and Sam that it is worth coming down after work, this is the view that met me when i pulled up to the pier at 5.45pm:

We found an amusing blog post the other day, and thought we’d post it here. It focused on “You know when you’re from Devon when…” As the Sandskater crew are from Devon, a lot of it rang true for us But seriously, we really aren’t all inbreds - it’s just the Totnes lot you have to watch out for (joke!!)

Take a look and see how much you agree with the list, and if you’re not from Devon, then have a good chuckle at our expense!!
