Maybe there's a case now for some eugenics in Wales to select midgets for a breeding program to get ahead of the curve.

I think they should select for singing ability as well, no use breeding out the already existing traits that make Welshmen so great.

For some reason that northern part of the area doesn't seem to pull in as much swell as the Mentawais or the southern part of the Telos, maybe not even as much as Nias, something's going on there, who knows what.

The southern bit has a few more challenging surf spots, seems to me that there's still a few waiting to be surfed or maybe even found.

I don't really think the area as a whole can match the real gold in the Mentawais, the likes of Teles, Rifles, the right etc, at least I haven't seen their like up there.

What the Telos are good for is way less people, and lots of waves that are relatable to normal surfing skills, you're not riding heavy 6-8' drainers on to half exposed reef up there.

Thanks for your answer nick

midgets would be able to get barrels that normal folk could not; don't knock their chances for oly gold.

I would love to see the results of the drug testing if surfing is admitted as an Olympic sport.

Great to see Welsh Midgets making headway. They are definitely ahead of trend as pro surfers evolve into little stubby legged long bodied dwarves. They would also be good down the welsh mines.....and could sing hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work we go from deep in the caverns of a welsh wave pool barrel.

Why? I suspect most of the tour surfers would be pretty clean living people.

Wouldn't it be a lovely irony if wave energy was developed and used to power the inland wave pools.

What about all the other fcuken midgets?

Like, realistically how many midgets can the Welsh train up. Only a select few surely.

So get all the other midgets and hook 'em up to generator tricycles and put them to work. Imagine how fast they will pedal, knowing they are providing the raw material for their own kind to overthrow the WSL Ubermensch.

they could sing while they pedal.

GSTQ, is this possible? Can Welsh people do two things at once?

I feel a Rock Opera coming on.

Can't be too many to spare up there with all the dwarf tossing competitions going on
How many dwarves have you tossed GTSQ?

I'm beginning to think GSTQ is in fact a dwarf.

Good luck Wales, midgets aren't coach-able. Like, with all his resources, Santa should have a better team than Al Merrick but he can't get the little bastards educated. Low centre of gravity maybe, but that head, that very heavy head......

The Oompa-Loompas are characters from Roald Dahl who was born in Wales. Coincidence?

Nick, is there a question you really want to be asked that no one has asked you yet?

I think not.
Do they have Shetland Ponies in Wales?

Also would judges over score dwarves on waves Re: size & overhead?
Do giant sized surfers tend to get underscored?
