RogerH Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 Hi Eli, For years I had dreamed of sticking a Malibu board on top of the 4A and driving around Newquay on my Cornish holidays. It never seamed to happen. Mind you I can't swim a stroke - so I would be either a champion surfer of dead. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Deggers Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 Not quite a surfboard . . . but still pretty cool. (Very nearly made something similar a few summers back, for a canoe trip we made down the River Dart.) Cheers, Deggers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hamish Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 think the canoe would be I bit tippy with a tr above it on the Dart look good past the anchor stone tho Look at the state of the rear wing on the red one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Would certainly give the Harvey's something to remember! (Some of the best seafood I've ever eaten, at the Anchorstone. Fantastic spot.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Even yacht taxi is emergency use only. visiting boats have to do an essential movement and health declaration- back to flying the yellow duster . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Andrew Smith Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 Can't offer a surfboard, but here's TuRK in Inverness at Christmas 1960 with a couple of sets of skis, same principle I guess? Cheers, Andrew Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Harbour Master's Compliance notice certainly makes for a sobering read. Let’s just hope the Home Secretary doesn’t get wind of the old river chain at the Castle, or we may yet see a hasty reinstatement! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Misfit Posted April 14, 2020 Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 Fear of drowning? I got over that at the a young age I went to the local swimming pool and had swimming lessons with my mother. My friend was in his fifties when learnt so never to late. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted April 14, 2020 Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 Hi Derek, I also had a few lesson with family but annoyingly these were wasted when a neighbour (I was probably 7 ish) did the dirty and dunked me when I wasn't expecting it The school lessons only cared for those that could already swim I love being on and next to the water but have no joy for going under.

Just when you thought a TR3 couldn't get any cooler! Back in the ‘90s, growing up in Cornwall, the cars we strapped our surfboards to weren’t quite so sporty. Years before I bought my 3A, I remember having my mind set on a ‘60s American station wagon (I know, I know ... eclectic taste!). Unsurprisingly, Cornwall wasn’t awash with classic long-roofs back then . . . or today for that matter. Shame. Try getting ten mates in a TR! Cheers, Deggers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Julian Stephens Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 Hello Eli I took this shot at Mawgan Porth near Newquay in Cornwall in October 1978. It shows my TR5 and Andy Hopkinson's TR3A. The TR3 was parked outside a shop. After waiting a while the owner did not reappear so we drove off. I never found out who the car belonged to. From the cropped version it is difficult to work out where the rear mountings would have been attached but it doesn't look to be on to the overrider brackets. Happy surfing, one day.
