Any surfers on here?
My first session of this year will take place tomorrow in sunny trecco bay, porthcawl.
Cannot wait to hit the water, after months away from it

I get over to Tynemouth a few times each summer. I don't get out as often as I'd like to. I used to work in the Vende, in France and it was great there, I'd be out nearly ever day, I lived and worked a 3 minute walk away from the beach.

Had a session yesterday ended up having an hour without a wet suit it was so hot, surf board smashed my knee and that was game over for me aha
I feel like I've become better since last year though
Had some mega fast runs across the waves :)

Wish I lived in Wales or somewhere were it was possible, If I go in the nearest "beach" I'll probably die of some disease

Aha porthcawl rest bay is pretty clean, just very rocky, their just everywhere
My cousin took me to a beach in Swansea last year was very nice, pretty private also, im sure it was just 4 people there the whole day, nothing worse than fighting over a wave

I used to surf twice a day when I lived in Bude. Not been in the water for ages and with us not looking like we'll be moving anywhere fast for a few more years, It's something I miss loads. One day I will move back. I WILL!!!

Not been in weeks, the good spots here have been poor recently and the swell hasn't been over a metre, plus it's whale season, gonna go down to Melbourne way in a couple of weeks and see what it's like for the weekend on the great ocean road.
