Changes
"There’s more surfers now- when we started there were four, now there’s about 204"
There’s more surfers now- when we started there were four, now there’s about 204. And it’s a fast growing sport- there’s a lot of guys doing it now, and ladies. My daughter surfs and she was Saltburn’s Ladies Champion twice so I am very proud of her. My other daughter had a go but she didn’t like getting her face wet.
