Hi Grish
I dont think you would remember us Jeds mom & Dad but we remember you
meeting and seeing you surf on the odd times we have been down to the beach. Unfortunately we have not seen you surf in competitions and I am not allowed
anywhere near the beach if Jed is also surfing in them. But good luck and show
the rest of the world what you lads can really do!!!

Hi Grish
ok I’ve watched the video now and realise you’re not really lying about your age it must have been a typo (text says you’re 36!!!)
Have a great time and keep in touch when you get home
