Surfers from Watergate Bay’s Extreme Academy were photographed recently enjoying a cup of tea while they rode the waves in Cornwall.

 

Photographer, Geoff Tydeman snapped the surfers enjoying a cuppa to help promote Elizabeth Finn Care’s Big Tea Cosy: a fundraising event to be held during the month of May.

 

The Big Tea Cosy is about coming together over a cup of tea to raise money for people who are living in poverty. During May, hundreds of tea parties will be held up and down the country to highlight the isolation and loneliness that poverty can bring to a person’s life as well as raise money to help Elizabeth Finn Care continue its vital work.

 

The surfers are all volunteers from the Extreme Academy: a surf and wind sports school located at Watergate Bay. For more information about the Extreme Academy, please visit www.watergatebay.co.uk.
