Marc Latham’s latest Folding Mirror poem has a surfing focus, which is quite topical … but mostly for people living in the southern hemisphere, which is on the other side of the world to Marc! But this is the home of Folding Mirror poetry, which thrives on turning things upside down!!
Marc has only surfed for a few hours, so this poem is mostly based on watching surfing documentaries and imagination. Surfing terms, including green room being inside a hollow wave, were researched on the wiktionary surfing terms glossary. Here’s the poem:

My grandsons would not agree with you about only the southern hemisphere; they are in Portugal now for surfing, The younger boy is in the GB U16 Surf Squad.
Cheers Bob, yeh, I did write ‘mostly’. I think there are still some braving British waters!?
I visited some surfing beaches in Portugal’s south-west back in July this year. Very nice.
I hope your grandsons do well there and keep it going. It seems a great sport, and to do it well enough to get into the GB squad must be wonderful..
