Simple pleasures. They're wonderful things aren't they? Take bodysurfing for example; the simple act of swimming around in the waves and getting pushed about by the water can sometimes provide the best memories of a day's surfing.

Over Christmas and the New Year James and Liz finally headed off on their slightly belated honeymoon, trading the wind and rain of the northern hemisphere’s winter for the warmth and sunshine of New Zealand, the “land of the long white cloud”, for a few weeks.
