Well I have arrived in London, England - home to many of my legends and ancestors, Austin Powers, C.S. Lewis, to name a few. As is to be expected my travel agent screwed up again I was expecting warm weather palm trees and endless beaches. To my surprise it's raining, freezing cold and the closest thing to a palm tree is the one I see in the travel agents windows. Well looks like that 4.3 wettie Action Beach hooked me up with, thanks George, will work OK. After a 9.5-hour bus ride south I have arrived at a place called Penzance home to notorious bodyboarder videographer combo, Stef Skajarowski and Mickey Smith. My boy and ODB World tour friend Stef has allowed us to stay at his pad for the duration of my English trip. I will then start my British and European invasion, starting in Ireland and making my way down to Italy. Good waves and times are sure to occur. Stay tuned for all the action.
This weekend was the Sick, Lame and Lazy Pro/Am Bodyboarding Contest in Porthtowan, Cornwall. It was a great event with a nice turn out, England's bodyboarding scene is a lot bigger then I thought. Guys like Dave Spenker, Simon Thomas, and Dave Skajarowski absolutely killed it placing well in all divisions. For all the results look below. I was amped I placed 4th in the Pro Open Division and 1st in the DK Division, which got me a nice lot of cash that will help fund this leg of the ODB Tour especially with the dollar being soooooooooo weak over here. Would be nice to eat something apart from noodles. HAHAHA. Well my next update will be from Ireland so speak to you all later. Peace.
CHEERS
GOD BLESS
