One of my dads oldest mates owned one of the pubs for years, so we were always sound in the village.
I also went out with a girl from there for a while, so got to know a lot of people my age at the time through her. We all windsurfed, rather than surfed.
Still mates with a few of them.
Having spent so much time there over the years, I fully understand why some of the locals aren’t keen on the tourists, as some of the tourists are very far up their own arses and can be pretty unpleasant.
My dad still has a place there, but I don’t go anymore, as it’s just too expensive now.
