These Days Surf's Up on Cornwall's Northern Coast - New York Times

These Days Surf's Up on Cornwall's Northern Coast - New York Times: "WALK through Paddington Station in London on a Friday afternoon in July or August, and you might think you're in Laguna Beach. Students dressed in Rip Curl tank tops, Quicksilver shorts, Ray-Bans and flip-flops amble through the crowds of commuters rushing for their trains. While the suits are off to the suburbs, the kids are all headed for the coast. Specifically to north Cornwall on the 4:05 train, which will deposit them some six hours later in a region that's become known for offering some of the best surfing - and socializing - in all of Europe."
