Surf's up for students

It was sun, sea and - most importantly - surf for students Hannah Lewis and Rhiannon Plessis on a recent trip to Portugal.

The students, who are part of the college's Surf Academy, took to the waves at the glorious Supertubos and Baleal beaches.

From Hannah's diary of the trip:

"The waves here are huge, each day we have all been progressing and changing our boards to suit the waves, myself and Rhiannon have improved loads with the help from everyone, the boys are great and are all surfing the massive waves with the professionals.

Each night we have themed food, each person takes it in turns to cook in little groups. Tomorrow night is my turn and we have decided to take the Mexican theme where we will cook a mixture of wraps, fajitas and cheesy nachos. The accommodation is lovely, we have a perfect beach/sea view from each balcony."
