Posted: Thu Oct 13, 2005 2:47 amjust about as landlocked as you can get, but summer and weekend trips to massachusetts and sometimes out to califronia.
Posted: Thu Oct 13, 2005 7:19 amI have two homes - one, sadly, landlocked in London, and the other is a purple camper van 
In winter I can easily do a days surfing on the (fickle!) south coast (Wittering, Brighton, Bournemouth), but most weekends Im roving around wherever there is swell
Off to the southwest this evening...

Posted: Thu Oct 13, 2005 11:05 amI'm in the Midlands - Leamington Spa.
The 'nearest' breaks in terms of driving time are Porthcawl area and Bournemouth. Both about 2 hrs away.
Then you've got the Gower/ Pembrokeshire or West Wales.
If you're in Notts then you can look at Sutton-on-Sea/ Mablethorpe type area - yeah, I know what you're thinking but they do break sometimes!!

Its alright once you get your head around the idea that you can't just sit at home and decide you wanna go surfing and expect waves when you get to the beach - don't bother unless you've done your research first.
A few shots of me surfing various local spots -
Here's my favourite spot 'Emilie's' -
