If Virginia Woolf were alive today, would she surf?
If it seems preposterous to connect Woolf with catching a wave, think again. Surfing has become big business in Cornwall — and this is the best time of year for the sport at St. Ives, the location of Woolf’s childhood summer home, Talland House.
Woolf herself is even mentioned in a story about the popularity of the sport at St. Ives. It appeared in yesterday’s edition of The Telegraph. Catch the story here. And while you’re at it, take a look at the waves. Pun intended.
