Surfing Waves

Just wanted to bid an online farewell to all the cool nights I have had out surfing since I took up the call of the ocean this summer.

I have finally had to admit that going surfing after work was no longer a possibility even with my waterproof headlight.

such a shame.

this means that I'm going to be down to once a week or less, it really saddens me that this is true and Im worried I will forget all the stuff I have been picking up.

grrrr
England...why you so dark!!!

Second that emotion Phil, I'm out of the country (Africa, but nowhere near the sea) for all of October, I come back the day the clocks change and am not looking forward to the the shock of temperature/daylight difference. So I we just have to pray for those weekends when all the conditions are right and bite our lip when all the weekday surfers say 'you should have been here yesterday mate'.

Still a possibility for another couple of weeks if you finish work at 5 and the tides are right. Still hopefully the sat & sundays will have better waves than the summer mush.

Yeah still plenty of light. doesn't get dark here till 7:30 atm... tho clocks changing will kill it.

dont worry phil your coming into the best bit........ya cant beat gettin changed in the driving ice cold rain in mid january or puttin on yer ice cold gloves for a second time while tryin to hold onto the inner scream because you think your fingers have fell off...........fookin priceless enjoy

Shoot, its hitting in the mid to upper 90s here in CA, and it's October.

WOOOOOHOOOOOO we just went on daylight saving, easy 2-3 hours of good light after work now its Spring.

Just need some waves!!!

Second that RJD! Daylight savings starts this weekend!!!!!!! Plus the temperatures are 30C for today and tomorrow! Bring on Summer!

HA HA HA . Sorry my commonwealth friends but indeedy it is like a ruby in a goats arse when darkness or location hits ya you for sure won't forget anything It's like a bike.... However you conditioning will go to hell,,,might I recomend some laying down bellyside on something ellevating your body and simulate paddling with some 2-5 lb wieghts (OOPS SORRY!! I mean 0.9 kg to 2.3 kg ) dumbells and allso do lot's of off the floor popups.Pray hard that the days you get to go have real surf if not,,,, don't matter still great to get out and it's real conditioning.

35 degrees C tomorrow, and the water is warming up nicely too

hehe and grrrr in equal measure.

sadly I finish at half five, then its a half hour commute to the town where I live to grab the board (boss says no to boards in the boardroom...and i thought that was what it was there for) finally a hours trip to my nearest reliable break.

sucks.

on that note can any NE yorkshire surfers tell me if the other beaches pick up come winter (other then scarbs) might help if i can get ot somewhere abit closer to me (Beverley)

i was told that the coast line near you,skipsea and down,does pick up some decent swell,its very quiet and has a strong side current apparently....keep a beach marker

that was from a local shaper who i bought a board from a while back.

cheers

Only 25 here today, sunny, I love spring!!
