Starting the Tynemouth Surf Company
"I opened the surf school in 1995"
I opened the surf school in 1995. I had been travelling a lot surfing and I was getting to an age where I thought I’d have, I would like to kind of like be a little bit more stable and I wasn’t quite sure what to do but I loved the water and I loved surfing. So I was living in France and I was driving back home and I decided on the way home that I was going to open a surf shop, which, when I got back home I started by opening a surf school and then a few months after that we opened the surf shop and it’s ten years that’s past and I’ve had a really enjoyable time with it.
