“Do you know anyone that would be free?”
“Yes me!”
“Anyone else?”
“Hmmm…No?
“Are you sure…”
“Ok, maybe a couple of guys…”
OK so that didn’t wash so several crews were put up for the shortlist and asked to send in videos. As a result, five surfers went on the best surf trip of their lives, and I cried into my cider swearing never to drink the evil herbal beverage brewed by monks again in my life…Until I drank another cider and had to have a Jagermeister to cheer myself up..Which ended in a vicious circle of crying, smashing shots, then crying and more smashing shots…Anyway…Don’t you worry about it lads..
