This week, under the watchful eye of leading Surfer Sam Lamiroy, Chris and Jonny's challenge was to master the notoriously difficult art of Surfing.

The boys headed down to East Looe Beach in Cornwall, near the location of their Show In A Field programme the following day, where they learned the basics on dry land before heading out in the water to try to ride the perfect wave.

With thanks to Wally Scarah and the East Looe Town Trust for all of their help on the day

Excellent video. But do tell Chris. Was there something naughty on the sleeves of your shirts. The reason for me asking is that there are blurred patches on your shirts during the video... is it rude eh eh eh mange tout mange tout

A total waste of time. Most of us have rather more important things to read about (if there were any professionalism in this staff).
Real answer to your creative article: "Who cares what these idiots do.?" Get a life, you boring media clowns.

What a laugh. Jonny looking very gorgeous in his wetsuit whilst Chris resembled a beached whale (like the rest of us!) on releasing his tum!! Loved the Mick Hucknall impression and the seaweed flinging. Please lose the hat though, Chris, as looking very silly with it on now! Keep up the good work, boys.
