The link which caused me such amusement is:

Does it still work for you?  Is it amusing? Is it and/or the video enlightening?

P.S.  This post was first published at 09:05 GMT. It is now 10:45 GMT.  We are already at number 4 in the Google natural search rankings for the keyphrase surfing with Frank Kern and number 7 for Frank Kern Surfing.  Would you like to know how we did that?  Sign up for our newsletter!

P.P.S. As I hinted at over on the Warrior Forum yesterday, in the topic which you can no longer see, I used TubeMogul to upload several copies of the above video to different video sites last night.  Click on my "toilet humour" link again now.  Are you beginning to see any light at the end of the tunnel?

P.P.P.S It is now 15:27 GMT.  I've been trying  to get on the Warrior Forum for ages to say good morning to our fellow surfers from SoCal, but there seem to be some problems.  Earlier it said "Temporary Closed Due To A Security Issue". Now it tells me "Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0126' – Include file not found - /forum/Default.asp, line 40 - The include file 'config.asp' was not found."

We also happened to catch on film Ralph Freeman, bassist with local band The Universe Inspectors, arriving and then catching a short ride on his trademark yellow board.  Nothing unusual about this you may think, but Ralph is no ordinary surfer.  He is not generally to be found sharing a modest beach break with my kids and I, along with several dozen other hardy souls.  More often he can be seen being towed into giant waves such as Oyster Falls off Downend Point at Croyde, which had been working nicely earlier that same day .  Ralph is also reputed to be the first person ever to surf the reef just past the point from Croyde, which is named Ralph's Reef in his honour.

The other unusual thing is that the summer before last Ralph broke his neck whilst surfing Croyde at low tide, and was initially paralysed.  It's great to see that a local legend has apparently made a full recovery from his injuries.

 

 

Many thanks to Ralph for giving us permission to share this extremely rare footage with you.
