Surfing NW UK

I'm off to (near) Lancaster this Saturday, to TRY and do a skydive :shock:

(been up twice during the summer and had bad weather) - the drop zone is right on the W coast and I'm considering taking my board just in case, as I can't face a third day sitting drinking tea in a chilly portacabin in a field!

So....

anyone know anywhere surfable around there? I have checked it out online and there doesn't seem to be any mention of anything in that area that I can find, so I'm guessing not. :cry:

Just thought I'd ask you folks anyways!

If not, looks like I'll be drinking tea then!

Cheers!

Go skydive with your surfboard! New sport...Big slashing cutback a few thousand feet in the air :shock:

Not looking good for surf this weekend coming anyway!

If I was in a plane with a surfboard this weekend, I'd be asking for a lift to northwest scotland :wink:

It definately made me cringe!

Probably not the best of times!

Good luck with it anyway...and if you don't post on here at all next week..we will presume you have died :wink:
