Miss Lowena Murley

Local gromette Lowena Murley is one of the young surfers at Sennen and with moves like this its always great to see the ladies out.

Rise of the grommets

Sennen does has some fickle waves, arguably down to the heavy grain sand that does not compact tightly like other beaches. In many ways I envy the surfers who have the perfect consistent sand banks that rarely change. North Devon has some beauties like Croyde, Woolercoombe, and Saunton, Cornwall has Godrevy, Polzeath, and Porthtowan. These sand banks shift and are occasionally affected and ripped up a little, but here in Sennen it seems like its like a game of sand castles. One large swell or big storm, and bye bye banks, clean slate and start again. We wait for the sand to form again and then adjust the surfing to the wave we get that particular week!! However, Sennen has historically turned out some great surfers. Chris, Essex and Cassius Tyler, John Buchorski, Sam Bleakley, Tristan Jenkins, Seb and Sam Smart, and James Parry have always surfed the fickle waves of Sennen and Gwenvor. A training ground for adapting their surfing to the waves on offer and then taking this and letting loose on the perfection they find around the globe. Whats great at the moment is seeing the new groms coming up through the ranks. Maisy and Issac Marshall, Jake, Jowan, and Oran Lynch will all be great surfers and they are lucky to have the likes of the aforementioned to look up to and use as role models. If they decide to make a life and career out of surfing or just surf and continue to enjoy it as they themselves mature with age they have some amazing surfers to look up to. Just look out for Jago Pierre, 4.8 years old and already impressing his dad with a parallel stance to rival Butch Van Artsdalen or John Peck shredding Pipeline!!! This shot is super stoked, super keen wave magnet Jake Sage.

Leftover sign. We left the surf fayre sign out a little too long last year. Bless em' the local skaters used it for a ramp and this is whats left. Says it all really, Sennen surfer.

A long view on another rainy grey day of Mr Parry riding his 6'10" Christenson Single fin, perfect set up and slotted on a windy Sennen day. Don't come rushing to this right hander, it comes and goes like the Sennen sand banks. Fickle would be an understatement!!!

Surf Action Surf Fayre

Please come along this Saturday and support our Surf Fayre. This is not only a fundraiser for our charity Surf Action but also a gathering of some amazing small businesses from Cornwall. It will be great to see as many people come along, listen to some music, watch some films, look at some beautiful boards and support Cornish businesses. See you there 10-8pm at the Sennen Community Hall behind the school.

one man and his shed

Oran Lynch is Sennens up and coming grommet, he's riding long and short, is surf mad, skate mad and probably drives his Dad mad. Oran has got his priorities straight, even before the complications of relationships enter his young life and drive him to a safe place to think, like the pub, he has a shed, a sanctuary, space to plan his push for the 2020 ASP World Title and more importantly; work out how he can get his hands on a Slide 65 single fin log before Xmas.

Never shoot into the sun.

pazzaaaaa. He's off to the surf mecca that is Newquay for the annual night surf comp. Personally can't spend too much time there before I feel the need to escape back to West Penwith and away from the land of fake lifeguard hoodies.
