POINTS OF INTEREST FOR YOUR BOURNEMOUTH STAG PARTIES


Of course we are assuming you’ll want to look cool at the beach, if you want to impress the beach babes take note of the cool clothing labels. Some will be familiar names like Animal, O’Neill, Billabong and Quicksilver, but there are others that would really impress.

Gul is the U.K’s biggest watersports company and does its own lifestyle clothing range. Hurley is an American surfing clothing label and Protest Boardwear do their own range too.

So you may look the part, but can you talk the lingo? Do you know your “barrels” from your “breaks” and the difference between a “kick-out” and a “tow-in”? Read on to find out more and impress your surf teacher during your lessons on your stag party Bournemouth.

“Kick out” is a term used to describe the act of pulling out of a wave.
“Tow in” is where you are assisted to get to a large wave by being towed there by a jet ski or helicopter – don’t worry it’s not likely to happen in a beginners lesson!!
A “wipe out” however, is far more likely - where you fall off your board whilst riding a wave!

Even waves and breaks have different names and you will come across terms such as “ground swells”, “reef break,” “tube,” and “lip.” Don’t be alarmed they are just more technical terms and describe a type of wave or how it curls towards the shore.

Surfing lingo that you would definitely expect to hear will include a lot of “dudes” i.e. a fellow surfer, “bruddah” used between surf buddies to mean brother, and if the surf teacher uses “bitchin’” he’s not referring to the girls watching you, it means the surf was awesome or cool!!

Now we have previously mentioned that no stag do is complete without beer, lots and lots of beer. But you will know from previous experience that this will and does lead to the hangover from hell.

Being the kind-hearted souls we are here at FREEDOM we have a few top hangover cure tips.

Before Crashing Out:
* Drink a pint of water or even better vitamin C laden orange juice
* eat – almost anything will do as a lack of sugar causes that wobbly trembling feeling.

Next Morning:
* Big fry – it’s the one time you can legitimately order the full works. It’s official that this will give you an energy boost and is good at clearing out the toxins – honestly! Eggs and meat are rich in amino acids.
* Hair of the Dog? Oh yes this gives your body something else to think about, but you’ll still have to face the hangover eventually.
*Water – drink a pint every hour all day.
* Sleep!!!

We explained how much we’d have to bang on about the beach, this really is what Bournemouth is all about, so without wanting to preach we thought it appropriate to remind you of ‘safety in the sun’: -

The sun is at its hottest between 11am and 3pm
Use a good, strong sunscreen, recommended at least an SPF of 15
Apply liberally all day.
Wear a hat, sunglasses and lip balm.
Drink lots – oh boys you know we mean water.

and equally ‘safety in the sea’: -

Don’t eat or drink before swimming
Swim in line with the shore and close to the beach
Keep clear of cliff edges
Know the warning signs – Red flag means dangerous to swim
Red and Yellow means lifeguards on duty
Black and White means it’s a surfer’s area.



OK we believe you probably didn’t know these facts about Bournemouth. Yes they may be bizarre, unusual, mundane and off-centre. No we can’t promise they will be useful, relevant or even interesting – but here goes:
