Surfers?

[Moonie]

Anybody out here a surfer?

I've got a 6'1" Town and Country board shaped by Nigel Perrow, little old but suits me well, have to get used to such refined riding though.

I generally go down to Bude or Saunton Sands but am also planning on possibly going to Hell's Mouth in Wales with a mate. Apparently it's deadly, I'm shitting it a bit lol.

[pikestar]

Surf No,

Repeatly fall off a board Yes

[Moonie]

Ahaha everybody has to start somewhere lol, I'm lucky I was 6 when I started lol.

You got a board?

[Rowey]

I wish I could go more, I've been to a few beaches in Adelaide, AUS, where my cousin taught me how to surf. Most fun you can have with your clothes on.

Been to Newquay a few times as well, great fun. Don't own a board though, not out of choice, just skint and they're not very aerodynamic on a motorbike.

I love watching surfing.
Can't surf for toffee, myself.

I never managed to be able to get up on the boards when I was a kid.
So I just sat on the beach and watched the lads.

Ahhhhh, surfie dudes.
Almost as deranged as bikers
*happy sigh*

Always found fistral full of tourists myself, much prefer a bit of south west coast personally.

I'm jealous of anyone who's been surfing outside the UK, I really want to get myself down to Hawaii at some point, maybe when I move.

[Fisty]

I used to surf badly when I was in my early teens. Used to go to hells mouth and abersoch.

Ive still got my boards in my mums loft! Including my baron stander.

Im too heavy now i just sink them and cant do up my wesuit.

Gah.

It's got a bit touristy recently but they know shit all and have "those fucking barges with fins" as my friend calls them, bright blue and yellow hire boards lol.

haha look out when your kitesurfing man someone nearly cut my head off last year lol.

[JonB]

I disagree about the comments about Fistral being a good place, it's far too tourist like.

If you go just over the beach head there is a great place called Watergate Bay, when I started surfing it was a little known place, but a couple of years ago went back and I think Jamie Oliver or someone owns a restaraunt on the sea-front.

On good days you'd get awesome surf there as well.

Haven't surfed for a couple of years now, but when I did I gained a level 4 in the Junior surfers certificate. I had progressed so far to waiting for the big waves at the back, rather than "surfing" on white water.

Probably the most enjoying sport I'd done, but now far too overweight which is a shame.

I've also surfed at Croyde Bay in Devon, but that wasn't very good.

Had the opportunity to go surfing in Portugal but the trip was cancelled last minute.

What's kitesurfing?
Is that like windsurfing, only the sail is up in the air?
