Anyone surf here much? I lost my lynmouth virginity on sunday. It was rubbish - a 2 foot ride and you're ankle deep over the rocks. I was terrified of mangling my board so I was jumping off the back of the wave as soon as I'd popped up! How often does it work? Does it ever get really awesome?

its really nice this time of year going down those hills with all the leaves on the road :shock:

i would say lynmouth is one of my fave waves but i would never surf it when its busy can get way to agresive for my tastes

Yeah I can see that, it was pretty local. Nobody was making eye contact or speaking at all even though there were only about 4 of us in there

Great point when its on long rides and supprisingly poky thanks to the rocks.

Deffo worth it if its on.
