I’ve now been surfing for 32 years both in Cornwall and in the North East. I love it as much now as I did when I was 10. I run a surf shop, Fluid concept and teach people to surf. As surfers we are the ones who see the result of all the litter and effluent that goes in the water and it’s our responsibility to let people know the situation. When I teach people to surf the last thing any of us wants is a big poo floating by.
