Surfed for Survival

Well we did it :) it was a great day and everyone was in great spirits from beginning to end! we all got to the leisure centre at 8.30, and worked the Flowrider in half hour shifts, which made it easier to complete our challenge, having the full day on the Flowrider really helped me improve my skills, I felt like I came a long way in just one day which I was over the moon about.

We had a little bit of interest from the press which was great for some exposure for First Aid Africa, I had an interview with a lovely chap from BBC Radio Newcastle, which I was a tad nervous about as I do tend to ramble on sometimes but it didn't sound as bad as I thought it was going to be, and he didn't play the bit where I mentioned something about my bikini coming off in the wave!! (phew)

We also had the evening chronicle come down and take a few pics.....

All together we raised just over £2000 from the event which we are all very pleased about, We are thinking of doing another one with Local Surf clubs, so those who wish to get involved pleaseeee do its such a fun event and you don't need to be a professional at this sport to get involved.
