Surfing Waves

I moved to north texas permenatley at the end of the summer so now i live 5 hours from the coast. Its rediculous. Before this i lived like 1 block from the beach so it was hard to get used to. Oh well, i still surf nearly every weekend, gas just gets expensive, but its worth it. SOOO how far do you live from the coast??

i live right on the beach on A1A in florida. i just have to cross the street

i live about 5 mins from the coast, but to get to the beach i surf at it takes a half an hour. and i got every sat

atleast gas is like back to two bucks a gallon though now

Are we talking high tide or low tide?
High Tide I'm about 40 meters from the water.

Ya, gas is 2.04 here today so its good. Hopefuly we'll get a front wednesday or so cuz i only have school until tuesday. Im going to port a for thanksgiving, so hopefuly there will be some surf.

I should be moving back to the coast in about a year, so it wont be too long up here..

Too dam far! its costs a crap load to get there and one very long unpleasent car journey.........try and go down once every 2 weeks if it worth it tho

I live an hour and a half away...nightmare but not as bad as 5 hours

I like long road trips, so it works good for me.

i live around 3 hours away, which isnt too bad, except i cant drive, and nobody i know surfs who can drive, and my parents/brother dont wanna be at the beach. they dont know what theyre missin'

i just keep tellin my self, its only til april and i get my license, of course then im stuck without a car and an overprotective mom (whose isnt?)

I'm lucky, my mom likes the beach and likes to surf, so she lets me go whenever i have enough gas money.

45 minutes to an hour for me. I see it sure could be worse

I live 4 hours from a decent break

atleast gas is like back to two bucks a gallon though now

In the UK Gas is currently pushing $6.40 a gallon! So this rules out weekly surf trips!!

Sinista

I open the window and can see the beach ..............

thats how it used to be for me, now i open my window and see a lake, not the same!!!!!

I'm less than 2 miles from the beach .

Aberystwyth harbour trap gets kinda dangerous with trawlers coming through though

apprix 300 meters :D but nearest spot is about 20mins drive when i'm here in North Wales
Back home in N.Devon its about 300 meters to the nearest namable break which is Combesgate :D:D

From my flat... 90 mins to south coast, 4 hours to devon

From my van... ooh, usually 50 or 60 yards...

Sometimes 5 inches... (damn those spring tides)
