Newquay Videos Surfing and more

We have listed the below the Newquay videos that we have published on the site.   We are always adding to these.  They are listed with the most recent at the top. They may also feature in our Blog.

We are grateful to all the amateur and professionals who have submitted videos to the various video sharing sites.   The ability to publish them here enhances our visitor experience.

It is interesting to note how fast the technology has changed making the sharing of video so much easier. Videos are now made and shared at a quality that could only have been dreamed of only a few years ago.

We have included some older videos on here as we felt that they reflected the time they were made rather well.  Today’s video maker with an iPhone would find the first VHS camcorders that were the size of a small suitcase and carried on the shoulder highly amusing I am sure.

We welcome suggestions, submissions and comments please contact us.
