cover for the<br />

autumn <strong>issue</strong>.<br />

Thankfully his second attempt was much more<br />

successful and his exit into the water didn’t look<br />

quite as painful, moreover we had a couple of<br />

potential keepers! It was getting on, so it was<br />

agreed he’d have one more attempt then we’d<br />

call it a day as he wanted to get back to York for<br />

some family time and I still had to get back to<br />

South Shields. I couldn’t have asked for more on<br />

the final attempt, all sponsors, which including<br />

Kokatat, VE Paddles and or course Loco Surfing<br />

would be kept VERY happy with these stills.<br />

After a couple of obligatory lifestyle shots we<br />

both scaled K2 and headed back to the car park<br />

to de-mud before heading off to a little café in<br />

Keld for a well-earned brew and caramel<br />

shortbread, which is highly recommended if<br />

you’re ever up in that neck of the woods.<br />

Destruction testing at its finest for our standard<br />

construction all-round iSUP, which looked as new<br />

when it went back in the bag and a new contact<br />

with a fellow water nut – so no complaints.<br />

‘<strong>Fall</strong>s cherry’<br />

I’m told I’ll get to pop my ‘falls cherry’ next time<br />

it rains, so I’m amped for that and I’m hoping<br />

Sam will also introduce me to some standing<br />

waves, where I can show him what I can do.<br />
