yeah i get were your coming from papa i just didnt see your point till now

your right there are better breaks, ive surfed fistal once and thought it was highly over rated

ive heard of some of the breaks in the hebredes having some world class surf and the consitancy, i dont think anywere in the UK is amazing cornwall might be the most consistent but we dont get all that much good swell compared to alot of other countrys

Yeah thats what it boils don to unfortunatly... thanks to the 300miles of contential shelf the smaller swells don't ammount to much and the bigger ones seasonal. Ah well Make the most of what we'vegot and travel round the UK everyone... its not ll about the SW :D

Infact travel in General, lots of fun to e had in other seas also.. I know!!!

I stayed in Cornwall for 3 months and must say it was the worst 3 months of my surfing life. Small, gutless little mushy crap was all that I saw. Then again we are spoilt in Oz. It may well be good as far as the UK is concerned but on a world scale it comes in near the bottom.

well i dont think i care what the surf is in the oz because i dont think i will ever be able to afford to get over there and if i did i probably wouldn't be good enough to surf the oz i am still learning prefer small waves 5-8 foot not the size of oz :roll:
