Recently five of our Malaysian team, who many of you will have now met and worked with, were based in Jersey for several months.
They really took to the Island and enjoyed meeting all the clients, meals out and on this particular day, surfing. Malaysia is not renowned for its surf culture, although there are many beautiful beaches and miles of sandy coastline.
Our advertising agency, Ozouf, kindly offered to give them all a surf lesson one sunny Saturday morning, and here they all are, geared up and ready to go. The group were given tuition on the rise and fall of the tides; how rips form and where to look for them; safety in the water and of course physical instruction on how to surf.
Three of the participants could not swim at all so stayed in the shallows, while some more confident and adventurous, stuck out into the surf and had to be constantly called back for the safety of the entire group!
All survived and safely made it back to shore after having a great experience, several asking when they could come back again.
