david george The owner & creator of SURF98. Started surfing aged 9 in far west Cornwall, but didn't get really serious until he was 15. Now in his late 40's a committed kneeboarder, & a school teacher he lives, works and surfs mostly on the south coast of Cornwall, but will travel whenever the chance arrives. Always on the look out for un-surfed areas [of which there are many] searching for fast breaking uncrowded lefts, absent-mindedly forgetting to tell people where he is going. dg is also a surfing writer, and currently writes a monthly column about surfing for the Cornwall & Plymouth "what's on" magazine Go2. A BSA qualified contest judge, dg has started to judge more contests in the last few years. With an endless number of European surf trips behind him, he rates Northern Spain/South West France as best apart from home of course. Check dgthkneelo's blog it's not just about surfing.
moby he of the moby-cam. Lives & works on the north coast of Cornwall, only a short walk away from the most famous surfing beach in the UK. A longboarder with a shortboarder inside just fighting to get out. He surfs as much as humanly possible, and then takes photos. He has travelled widely through France & the Canary Islands in search of surf of course. Another skater from the old days who still skates! Our eyes and ears on the north coast.
cg Yes a body-boarder/short-boarder and a girl. Likes sunshine, France & clean hollow conditions at a certain north coast spot. Lives on the south coast of Cornwall & seems to end up at the beach all the time. Has been known to take to the water in mid-winter in a 3 mm summer suit, no gloves or boots, because the conditions looked right & then make the biggest drop of the day, with a beach full of witnesses. Makes sure the spelling & copy editing of SURF98 is up to scratch & is not afraid to tell dg his design work looks like sick!
gabes The newest member (at just 15) of the surf98 team, a grom in the true sense with beach life-style already engrained in his attitude and soul. Hope his great knowledge of surfing history and all that is good about it will show through in the surfing of his 9' 1" Escape longboard in the months and years to come. Oh yes his dad's dg, poor thing. Along with big bro Luca gabes had his first taste of serious French beach break in '07 and is already looking forward to go back soon.
