Surfing Waves

Hi all, I am a land locked surfer based in Berkshire , looking for surf buddies in and around these areas or close to Berkshire, i regularly get down to North/South Devon , Gower or South coast , my problem is I get a lot of time off in the week and not much at weekends, as much as this is a good thing (as most of the time line ups tend to be empty) I am still reluctant to go out surfing on my own, as I'm still a relatively new surfer ( about a year and a half) I don't have the confidence to paddle out when there is no one else in the water, especially in winter , I have transport and will happily pick up anybody en route or if you live near the coast could meet you there,
I'm a 41 year old male having a massive mid life crisis please help !!!!!

Hi my names Jamie I live in Berkshire too and go every other week or when there's waves your more than welcome to join me and my buddy Rich .
