What do you do when the wind and the maritime weather condition halt your surfing day? In Fistral Beach, British surfers and bodyboarders decided they really had to hit the water for a sunny session.

So, Towan Bay and the harbor were the alternatives. Strange? No way.

When the backwash of the high tide is great, everything is possible.

As you can see below, locals enjoyed very nice waves and wipeouts, too.
