soon enough i will have to choose a uni so wich uk 1's are best for surfing

Posted: **Wed Sep 19, 2007 5:11 pm**

Bangor (Wales), Plymouth, Exeter (for SW/Cornwall surfing), Newcastle, York (for Scarborough are surfing). There's a few to look at.

if you want a more arty uni, try Falmouth. I've also heard of course that's heavily involved with surfing... not sure where or what though. I do know it was in its first year - so it could've been dropped... Hope that helps

i'm pretty sure its not a fake - but i get your point... might as well do marine biology basically, but it looked cool!

yeh but not as cool on your cv which for some reson seems to matter

Mind me asking what you're planning on doing? Cos some uni's are better than others in certain fields. For example Bangor is amazing for marine sciences.

Surf Europe have an article on surfing uni's this month...

i live near swansea but go to uni in plymouth. so can vouch that both are awesome. although tbh id rather surf down here than back home. plus i know plymouth does enginneering, some of my mates are on it and really enjoy it. city wise they are pretty similar but once again much prefer plymouth, a lot more friendly i think, better nights out to. pm or whatever if you want any more info

South Wales.. Cardiff or Swansea...... consistant, and loads of break selection for winds. not too crowded,
