It's blowing out there this morning! 20 knots from the South and sideways rain. Forget the umbrella, she'd be inside out in a second. The swell's up but it's wild, South and straight; even the protected corners of South Steyne and Fairy Bower looks pretty messed up.

Did you hear the news?  There'll be Olympic Gold in surfing up for grabs at Tokyo 2020!  JJF carrying the flag for Team USA?  Will it be run in a Kelly Slater Wave Pool or 1ft onshore Chiba?  Good time to be buying shares in the KSWP Co!  Landlocked states are gearing up!
