Its been a while since my last post and I’m pleased to say that touch wood my ear has been OK since hitting the surf. I had my second surf last night since the op and so far so good. The waves were OK, not great – a choppy 3-4 ft – but it was so good to get in.
I paddled out nursing a hangover from the night before (a mates' stag do in Newquay) and after the first couple of duck dives the hangover was gone! Amazing how the ocean manages to cleanse you back to normal. Added to that a couple of hours after the surf I was charged back up with all the positive ions the sea seems to provide and a day later I’m still feeling pretty good – as surfers we really are a fortunate bunch.
In Ollypop land, we had a busy weekend at the Brighton Paddle Round the Pier and its now back to the sales getting new stockists and re-stocking existing ones. The feedback is good, re-orders are coming in and generally the retailers are happy - amazing what a bit of sun does and its in stark contrast to this time last year. Sadly the weather isn't quite playing ball at the moment but hopefully its just a minor blip before the summer heat wave returns!
Plenty of waves this week, lots of wind too which isn't so great, but I may just have to sneak off to a sheltered spot for a quick session or two.
