Postby crispo » Wed Jul 09, 2008 9:19 am

Hi,

no problemos dude,

I know what oyu mean about the bug .. once a fortnight was nice when i was hiring gear and travelling by bus,

then once a week once i passed my driving test,

noow i ave my own board so i can go "out of hours" and in my own car...suppenly twice a week dosent seem like enough.

If you ever fancy a surf with a learner let me know, I cant make to night as i went last night and cant manage the petrol but am thinking sat/sun as a possibility.

Hope you get a good one.

Cool, I think we will be out at weekend if there's surf. Just looking at webcam, it looks good but hard to judge scale? How big are those waves? Tiny? And how long has that guy been sat on that bench? Or is he a statue??? :)

Hi Crispo ,

I could be talking a load of shite, but I have spent a bit of time sat with a wave prediction PDF I found on the web in one window and MSW in the other and Sunday looks like there could be some waves (Secret Spot hasnt updated their forcast to tell me if they agree with my sub-amature-prediction... but if there is Im off all day and am thinking of going down. If you havn't made it out yet, do you fancy meeting?

Should be waves for the weekend with the low sat in the north sea and not really going anywhere and the high pushing over from the Atlantic. Winds look like lightish cross shore for N/Ne spots so should be ok.

Couple of foot and a bit.


I'm going to test my broken wrist for the first time since May 13th. Not going to push too hard so will be on a beach somewhere.

I went to Cayton last night and had the best surf Ive ever had, got stood up so much quicker and actually rode the wave at an angle and rode green wave instead of whitewater for the 1st time ever. To make it even better my mate caught the same wave and rode the green wave going to other way. Im loving it and will be returning on sat and sunday. Phil we'll be there in my VW camper below. Give us a shout :)

Join the club man :)

Luckily I can work anywhere so looking to sort it out. Devon seems great to me. What are the downsides?? Is it like a ghost town in Winter??
