HAVE you tried surfing on a body-board over fields of seaweed?

It’s wonderfully exhilarating, like skimming over s slippery, silken carpet!

With Swanage’s recent east winds and the resultant huge floating fields of seaweed laying in the sea, a new experience presents itself.

If one doesn’t mind striding out with knees high, through a long jungle of this flora (and fauna?) then selecting a huge wave and surfing at top speed, one is buoyed up in a completely new fashion on a seaweed ski slope.

Do try it.
