- Top three spots in Kernow:
-
- Fistral, Newquay. Fun waves out the front everyday.
- Porthleven. Secret spot, ha, ha. Best wave we have but only gets good once in a blue moon. Can get like backdoor on rarest occasion.
- Secret left hand point. Really sick down the line wave that holds a good size. Many know of it but still not good to name.
- Top three pubs in Newquay:
-
- Red Lion, my local bar. Even though I don’t go out for a drink very often, I love going to the Red and playing pool with the boys.
- Belusis, where everyone goes in between the pub and going to Chy.
