The British junior squad traded wind swept Cornwall for Spain this week, ready to start a two week surf training programme. Since arriving into Santander with Brittany Ferries the crew have been staying with Errant Surf Holidays in new self-catering bungalows right on the beach at Loredo, and over looking the famous big wave spot "Santa Marina".
Kelly O'Toole from New Zealand is one of the British Surfing Association head surf coaches and for the next two weeks he will be on hand to guide the up and coming young surfers, using the latest surf coaching methods. The youngsters include Max Tucker, Mat Chapman, Gabbie Rowe, Daisy Docking, Miles Hargraves and Errant riders Harry Timson and Tom Good.
Since arriving last Monday the groms have scored epic conditions on the main beach of Loredo, and the point of Santa Marina. The conditions have ranged from fun beach breaks, where the kids were able to work on their contest tactics, to challenging low tide barrels.
With such good, high quality surf these two week long trips are invaluable for the groms, for will be ready for action come the new year. "It is essential that our young surfers get the chance to receive top coaching, and spend a decent amount of time focusing solely on their surfing." summed up Kelly.
