Summer time

Spent today thinking about summer. There's no doubt it's been an epic winter for swell, but it will be nice to hang up the winter wetsuit and shake out the summer one.  Swells may be smaller, crowds may be bigger, but the heat of a summer day can't be beat.

Cool water

So it's New Year's Eve, let's hope the expected big freeze every surfer seems to be dreading doesn't bring Waves of Ice. These are from Sean Buckley's blog Check out this wakeboarding in St Mark's Square, Venice too, from the same place.

Cool Pool

When you can't get to the surf, it helps if you can stay fit by doing something else, in this case, a few lengths at the local pool. Still fiinding something to learn about breathing, timing and technique, despite having swum for years. Not the prettiest of architectural inventions, the local pool does have the added bonus of warm water in mid winter. The open air Jubilee Pool on Penzance promenade, however, operates on the reverse basis - cold enough to attract only hardened fanatics in winter, it is one of the most spectacular pieces of architecture, with many many lines to please the eye, whether on a swim or having a coffee in the cafe above. Always good to photograph, this pic was the cover of Cornwall Today last summer. Remember summer?
