Hardy's Skiing & Snowboarding Guied 2009

Natives News 217	19 December 2008
Hi there, There is literally a deluge of snow in the Alps at the mo - we're hearing reports of resorts getting cut off and high winds causing havoc to high lifts, but it's clearing up for the weekend and we're looking set for a very white Christmas. And on that note, this is the last newsletter before the big 2 5, so Merry Christmas everyone and we'll be back in the new year with more news and gossip. The Natives Team

**LEARN TO SURF IN SOUTH AFRICA AND GET INVOLVED WITH CHARITY WORK**

This May Ticket to Ride - Worldwide Surfing Adventures - is running
its African Road Trip, which promises to be the best way to cure any
post-season blues.

The six week adventure runs from Cape Town to Durban, stopping off at five unique and world-class surfing locations along the way. As well as six weeks of focused surf coaching the course will also give you the opportunity to get involved in a wide range of rewarding projects that put something back into the local community.

“You get to surf world class waves everyday and give something back while you’re there. Awesome trip!” Dave Hughes, 19.

The course costs £2,995 and there are only a handful of places available,so if you are interested click here to order a brochure, and for more information on Ticket to Ride, visit www.ttride.co.uk.
