How far do you live from the beach.

[Broosta]

400yrds from nearest break, which is fickle to say the least so usually 35mins by car to somewhere decent.

[BoarderDave]

2-3 miles to the beach I usually surf at.. about 10 minutes in my car.

[bonnsaikitty]

i live in jakarta, west java, indo. it takes 4 hours drive (without traffic) to closest break at "pelabuhan ratu / cimaja" area. grrrrrr
2 hours flight directly to bali if there's much money left

[grammarnazi]

Half mile to closest break. But I have an 80-mile RT commute to work.

Decided I would rather live near surf than near work, though!

[surf-legend]

i live miles away from the beach in walsall so i dont get to surf much really

[garbarrage]

work in construction in ireland at the mo which is startimg to look pretty bleak.. over 200 kilometres to anywhere worthwhile.. which takes about 2 hours if i leave early enough and ignore speed limits all the way... movin west shortly. hopefully no more than 15 mins then.

[missy]

10 miles to Tynemouth, Longsands on the North East coast, 10 mins by car.

[surf-legend]

I live in the Midlands...Years from any good surf. BEAT THAT lol! Google Earth Walsall and You will see!

likewise, erdington

is that in brum cus i live near brum in walsall well actually pelsall but no one knows where tht is

[brummie]

yeh mate, Walsall's just down the road. Aint it a bummer being so far from everywhere! I went visited my sister in New Zealand and was 10 minutes froma decent break and two hours from snowboarding, that was the life...

[parrysurf]

20 min to south facing break.
20 min to nw facing.

[Zeroman_IR]

45 minutes to closest break, 75 to slightly more consistent one.

[NorthMyrtleB]

About 300'. Walk across the street and down the beach access. This area is great for cheep rent close to the beach($600 - $900 a month), just that the jobs suck and slows to a crawl during the fall / winter months. Spring and summer filled with tourist sporting their Hanna Montana 2' boogie boards and beer.

[Vee2]

I live a couple miles from my local, walk the dog there every morning to check the surf and decide whether its worth a shot or not.

[esonscar]

5miles to the ocean/ kite beach, and 9miles to the firtst real surfing break (according to google map) - all on regular bus routes !

[captain mainwaring]

a few hundred metres from Godrevy beach, when there are waves, the noise keeps me awake at night but it does mean i can walk to the surf, thus avoiding the car park crowds

[Rodrigo]

15 minutes to my local break, which is OK. I can see the waves with my binoculars from my bedroom.

20mins - 1 hours away are a variety of other breaks, some very good

[yesmar]

i live 7hours away from my main beach i can get to a beach in 2.5hours if i had to. i live in harrisburg pa, but spend my time in the water at obx during the off season or when the place isnt rented. Ill be there in 1 week!!

[Surf Hound]

Maybe 5 blocks but looking to get closer. I cannot hear the swells rolling in during the night and that is my goal. I was born & raised in Honolulum HI. Left for 25 years, did the college, marriage thing and now I am back in Maui, Hi. 5 blocks is the furtherst I plan on ever being away from the water & surf.

[dunno]

1 hour drive

[esonscar]

1 hour drive

Cool !, go there each weekend - bargain !
