This calls for a team song. With apologies to the Beach Boys...
By Swansea there’s the ocean It’s down Gower way Where everybody goes surfin Like Californi-a You see ‘em in they knickers Driving wrecked old campers In for a hiding from they mothers It’s a normal Welsh day
Felinfoel Double Dragon Fourteen pints and chips Fallin out the King’s Head Wearing your white sling backs Throwing up with care Not to spoil the big hair
All the girls are gone surfin Down Llangennith Bay
We’ll all be planning our route We’re gonna be so ga-ay We’re waxing down our surfboards We can’t wait for Ma-ay We’ll all be gone for the weekend We’re sleeping on the floor Tell our bosses we’re surfin Down Llangennith Bay
We’ll surf to Rhossili Port Eynon and Pwll Du Around to the Mumbles Then back to Oxwich Bay Hoping that the Gulf Stream Will keep the frost bite away
All the girls are gone surfin Down Llangennith Bay
All the girls are gone surfin Down Llangennith Bay
All the girls are gone surfin Down Llangennith Bay
This space is dedicated to the 100th birthday weekend of May 11-13 (and as many more days as you can stay).
We'll be posting useful resources here in the coming weeks (beginner's surfing manual, guide to Welsh pronunciation, photos of sheep, etc).
And when you get home check back for some surfing action shots.

By Swansea there’s the ocean
It’s down Gower way
Where everybody goes surfin
Like Californi-a
You see ‘em in they knickers
Driving wrecked old campers
In for a hiding from they mothers
It’s a normal Welsh day
Felinfoel Double Dragon
Fourteen pints and chips
Fallin out the King’s Head
Wearing your white sling backs
Throwing up with care
Not to spoil the big hair
All the girls are gone surfin
Down Llangennith Bay
We’ll all be planning our route
We’re gonna be so ga-ay
We’re waxing down our surfboards
We can’t wait for Ma-ay
We’ll all be gone for the weekend
We’re sleeping on the floor
Tell our bosses we’re surfin
Down Llangennith Bay
We’ll surf to Rhossili
Port Eynon and Pwll Du
Around to the Mumbles
Then back to Oxwich Bay
Hoping that the Gulf Stream
Will keep the frost bite away
All the girls are gone surfin
Down Llangennith Bay
All the girls are gone surfin
Down Llangennith Bay
All the girls are gone surfin
Down Llangennith Bay
Can you hum that for me?
Unfortunately I think the weather's going to be more Snowdonia than California- bring on those fur-lined wet suits!
I'm back in the office, its Monday morning and that surf would seem like a distant memory, I might even think I dreamt it, except I hurt all over!
