What a carry on???!!

Today is Sunday, i am going to teach one hour and fifteen minutes of extreme stretching and core strengthening in just one hour, but i just had to say how disappointed i was with Mellow wave.

I had arranged to pick up a mini mal in Bude at 10.30am Saturday morning, Chris and i miss judged the time so i called ahead to Steve the board shaper that we would be about 30 mins late and if that was ok, he said it was fine so we made our way there. We got to bude at 10.50am, just 20 mins late. I called Steve to ask him which number his place was, his son answered to tell us that "Steve has gone out and won't be back til 2pm, so could we come back then?" 

Urm, no! we will not! We had just spent an hour driving up there especially to get this board, i had woken at 8am on a Saturday morning especially for this, and i didn't even get a call to say that he was going out or if we could come later or "sorry" that he could not wait for us. I was extremely annoyed to say the least, so instead we carried on driving down to Newquay and had the best customer service and dedication possible to give.

A really sweet guy from the Boardwalk shop gave us loads of info about the boards and explained about each one, i chose the one i wanted with the dimentions best suited for my ability and body size, then he took us around to the adjoining shops so i could choose from a huge selection of traction pads and leash. He did this in such a friendly and laid back way that i definately knew i wanted to spend my money at this shop.

I still don't know how one surf board sales person can be so different from the other, you can form your own oppinions, i just wanted to say that if you were looking to buy a surf board or anything that is important to you, don't buy from people who don't care about how you are treated and what you are buying, because you will always remember when/ how/ why you bought it and who you bought it from.

Have a great week

Celebrations!!

I'm so stoked, i finally sold my car today!! Woohooo!!

I have been taking the 1.30pm classes on Tuesday which have been great fun. 

I have a flexibility master class on Sunday (29th June) at 12pm til 1.15pm, so you will have 15 more minutes or stretchy time!

I will be taking the 6.15pm class on Monday and the 7.30 induction class as Sam and Jo are skiving! I'm really looking forward to those two classes as i don't get to see too many of the regular students anymore as i am no longer on reception due to my busy support work schedule.

This weekend i'm hoping for some awesome surf as i may be purchasing a new board on Saturday in Bude from the company mellow wave who shape their own boards. They seem really nice so fingers crossed my board will be wicked!

I'm still looking forward to those photos Rosanna has on her camera from RTTS, Chris and I have been waiting with patience and anticipation! It would be great to have a pole Jam with all the crew too, it feels like it has been ages :-(

Well i'm off to do some house work before my man arrives home from work.

Take care and hope to see you soon xxx

More hecticness!

Well its been a few weeks but now im back again to let you know whats been going on with me :-)

First off, Run To The Sun was an awesome weekend with Rosanna, we danced on the main stage at Trevelgue holiday park til 4am Friday to Sunday night. I had numerous bruises from trying my hardest to grip the pole with sweat and bright lights trying to hinder my performance. Luckily i had on my Nomis gloves i purchased from theartofdance.co.uk, without them it would have been 10 times harder to get any grip on the pole.

I then spent the next weekend in London being filmed on eggheads, i can't let you know much about it until it airs but i know we made quite an impression at the BBC studio! Will keep you informed when it will be shown, just watch out for the Flexi Funksters!!!

The following weekend was the Art of Dance social at the wonderful Annabels in Plymouth, everyone who performed gave an exceptional show, i feel like i need to do some serious training to keep up with everyone, i was completely wowed by all dancers!

I gave my flexibility class on Saturday just gone, i made a point of working on core strength and flexibility. I even felt the burn the next day in my abs, and it was good!

Keep your eyes peeled for the next of the flexibilty classes!!

I am back on the 1.30pm Tuesday classes at the HQ studio in Plymouth, i have missed teaching so am eager to get back into it and see everyone again. My other job has been taking alot of my time as it is long hours and very demanding, support work isn't for the faint hearted!

Until next time, take care and see you soon :-)
