well im back from scotland and i took an absolute pounding. First day was great surfed this little whitesand beach with crystal clear water. Saturday and Sunday a new swell came in and the waves were about 8 to 10ft. Got slightly phased by the size out back and lacked conviction in paddling to catch them. Definatly got good paddling practice and how to get out in big surf.

didnt get to go anywhere on the bank holiday itself but on thursday i went up to sandsend with a mate. it looked falt when we got there but got in with bodyboards n actually got some decent waves n a couple of three foot sets. I actually managed to get barreled on one of them which was very cool. My first barrel yay!
