I've been surfing for over 20 years now. During this period, I feel like I've stumbled upon something akin to a secret. I do concede though, that this secret's out with a few people. These people, namely you, are the people I want to share the simple, yet indescribable, joy of surfing with.
'Cuttie in your face' has evolved from an on-again-off-again email list that started around ten years ago. At that time, I realised I was starting to collect a number of internationally dispersed surfing friends - all of whom had great surfing photos, videos and stories to share. I ended up seizing the opportunity to take on the role of sharing this great content with and between these friends. After a number of years of this, with a break or two in between, one reader suggested I turn my email list into a blog. Following mostly positive encouragement from my other surfing buddies, I'm now embarking on this journey.
I hope you enjoy coming on it with me.
Please contribute wherever and whenever you can. I'm always interested in your comments and ideas. I'm particularly interested in your contributions of content, and will always endeavour to publish them whenever possible. In terms of content, almost anything goes. The only things I'm not keen on are dropping in, snaking, surf comps, giving away secret spots, and any sort of 'locals only' attitude.
Again, please feel welcome, if not encouraged, to contribute. Please email all contributions to me at: l.gorajek@gmail.com
Only first names will be published with pieces.
Maybe controversially, I've also chosen to allow advertisements in 'Cuttie in your face', if/when the opportunity presents itself. I've done this for a number of reasons - all of which I hope you can appreciate. Since I'm having a go at this, I want to do it properly, as best I can, and give 'Cuttie in your face' the best chance of success. As an example, I love the idea of holding competitions so you guys have the chance to win some really cool surfing gear. Thinking big, I'd love one day to be able to give away a surfboard or something similarly as impressive as that. Great surfing gear doesn't come cheap though, and I'd rather not have to stump up for it out of my own pocket - I hope you understand.

Now down to business!
Today, to start things off with, I'm sharing with you a photo that I find quite a-peeling.
... A fun looking wave by anyone's standards I think.
That's enough from me for now. I'm really looking forward to sharing more of the stoke with you as the months go on.
