New surf star found at Cumberland School

Potential ‘surfers of the future’ showed off their talent in East London recently as several hundred students from Cumberland School tried their hand at surf sports, including Street Surfing and dry-land surfing, at the first ever Calypso Surf Anywhere Tour. All this was done in the school gym without the need for a beach, the sea or waves. There was one winner – 15 year old Jessica Harman. Jessica will now be attending an ‘all expenses’ paid trip to a special Calypso Surf Academy in Cornwall. She will learn to surf under the guidance of top surf coaches with seven other winners from schools all over the UK. The Academy is supported by Calypso Aquajuice, the company which sponsors the Junior British Surfing Team.
