Hi all, I'm a beginner that's been bitten by the bug! I live between London and Bournemouth at weekends and although it's a trek, I'll be spending a lot of time around the croyde area when I can get there. Wondered if there's anyone that heads that way often from either London or Bournemouth that wants to get together for a few sessions.

Hi cravenbiker, welcome to Surfing Waves!

It is a bit of a trek, but a popular one. I'm sure you'll find someone to hook up with. Best of luck.

Cheers, I'm happy to put in the miles as its only £40 in fuel return and £13.50 a night in a hostle. Also the pubs were selling beer at £2.60 a pint and for a London lad that's cheap!!!!

It's the first time ive stayed in a hostel so I have nothing to compare it too but it's what I expected.
