Raglan with Kath and Johnny (of the above picture - clearly not Phil)

We celebrated Queens B’day Weekend with a chilly surf on the West Coast with our friends Johnny and Kath.

Johnny is a surfing legend...so he gave us a few pointers...you’ll see from the photos that Phil really took these on board...???!!! [Cheeky monkey! - ed].

Kath and Johnny are brilliant...and we’ve so enjoyed hanging out with them. So its VERY sad that they are heading back to the UK in about 3 weeks (v.sad faces).

It was all getting just too exciting!

The team on the beach

Some great P & J teamwork. Surfing is so much easier if you weight 8.5 stone.

Joey forgetting momentarily the sport we're embarking on

Phil working his magic.

A whole new surfing technique is born

It didn't seem to get much take-up with the other surfers.

Jonny, the pro.

Fun and games.

More fun and games

A well earned beverage.

The following day we washed out hair in the local waterfall!
