Surfin' South West

Come on...anybody else on here into it?



If so where d'ya go?

Yep but badly. mainly surf around North Devon area,

These days I struggle standing up, i'd be a menace on a board!

You'll recognise Saunton from the piccie then.

Just got back from a days surf with some friends from our VW club. Spiffing day out

Spiffing?

Indeed, "spiffing". In limited usage these days but wholly appropriate
In fact I think we should use more older descriptive words like "spiffing" and "wizard" as well as phrases like "top hole" and "bally good show" more often

haha, i see some swear filter fiddling on the horizon...

Saunton it was. Our fave destination. Riding an 8'7" at the moment but could go to 9" plus if the right board came along. Got back into surfing last year after an 18 year lay off. Hence I only do very forgiving big boards. Loving it though.

I surf whenever i get the chance, i'm not very good
I use a 8ft for quiet days and a 6.2 for normal splashing.
Heres a few pics of one of our outings.
Love the north coast too

My first ride was on a 10" white Bilbo in the year of our Lord 1980. At Saunton. It belonged to a mate's dad and supposedly an early 70's board. Would love to have a go on it now!

Incidentally Mr. Smelly, I fancy we've chatted at Saunton (last year?)...did you have your mohican in a shocking pink colour at one time?
