We’ve been back in the workshop for a little over a week now, and whilst our trip up to London was fun and action packed, it’s nice to be back beside the seaside. Plus we got home in time to make the most of a really good groundswell that hit the South West earlier on this week! One of the major factors that drew us up to the Big Smoke was the London Surf Film Festival. Now in it’s second year, the LS/FF 2012 was a four day...
