As I have been living in Cornwall for the summer months I thought it would be time for my two best friends to come and see what exactly it is that I do when not going school and give them a taste of the surfing lifestyle and festival fun.
This week was all about giving Emma and Jess an experience that we were never going to forget and with what I had planned for them I think this was definielty going to be a week that will last forever.
Day 1
A private surf lesson at constantine from me and then some serious hair braiding...
So the girls first day was giving them the taste of surfing my local break Constantine, this was such a good way to start the week, we had so many laughs and both Emma and Jess by the end of the session were riding along the waves. In the evening we visited Hannah Harding at her caravan and she gave us a bit of festival flavour to our hair by putting in a braid which Jess was very excited about as it was her first one in many years!
Day 2
Another day of surfing and biting lips...
On wednesday I took the girls down to O'neill Surf Academy where I work for another surf lesson, this is where they met Luke and Dan, who they fell head over heals for. Jess was even biting her lip whilst being taught with out even realising it. The evening it was bike ride time and not forgetting of course the most important thing an ice cream!
Days 3 + 4
Surfers Village and Nalu Beads...
The first taste of the surf competiton atmosphere was had today, both the girls were so intrigued by everything that was going on around them, the first stop in the surfers village was the Nalu Beads stall where I was able to introduce Emma and Jess to the team riders and also the co owner, they were also treated to a free work shop to learn how to braid their new beads into a bracelet. Smiles were once again spread from one side of faces to the other.
Day 5
Wellies at the ready...
So Friday the first day of the music festival and it was going to be a wet one with thick drizzle coming down from all directions, but being girls we came very prepared with our wellies and bin bag ponchos. It has to be said the atmosphere from start to end never failed to be more than amazing especially when the Klaxons played. We danced, we sang and had many laughs along the way what a night!
Day 6
THE best of the best...
Saturday had to be the best day out of the whole week, back to the music festival the weather was dry and warm, the UV paint was on and tonight was the night Zane Lowe blew us all away! What a performance, I have never seen so many people do the running man when Party Rock Anthem came on, he got the crowd going in so many different ways it was amazing! One part of the night which was also great was when Jess won 3 dance offs with just one move...The worm!
This day will be remembered forever and we are already BUZZING for next years.
Jess Sums up her week...
" Surfing in the "knarley waves", chinese takeaways, rocking out in bin bags and flowery head bands at festivals, bicycle rides, hair braids, Nalu Bead work shops, shuffling, trying to be as cool as Jess Henry, meeting beautiful pro surfers! But most of all lots and lots of snuggles with my very best friends...it was THE best and funniest week ever and cant wait for next year!"
Emma also sums up her week...
" Amazing week in Cornwall with the most amazing people. Learning how to surf was a definite highlight...helps having a pro surfer as a friend sometimes! Constantine is beautiful and I can't wait to go down again soon missing it already!"
These pictures also sum up how much fun we had!
