[babyboarder89]

number 2, is it saunton?
where is pic 5 taken?? woollacoombe? i cant work it out. nice pics

[Hazy_daze]

Urm I'd say the second was Croyde, cause it looks a bit too pounding for Saunton...but im not too sure.

Pic 5 is definitely Croyde i'd say? But theres no sign of Lundy...damn im bad at this!!

Looking pretty good though huh!

Hang Loose

[Phil]

[PapaW]

Its all down to consistancy...

btw..

Pic 1,2 & 3 are the same place.. and its not croyde

pic 4 is as the name suggests! croyde...

Pic 5 is Woola yep.. Lundy is out of the pic to the left. and you can't see lundy from croyde...

[Hazy_daze]

Lundy is out of the pic to the left. and you can't see lundy from croyde...

Hang Loose

[Phil]

yeah im sure ive seen lundy from croyde as well or is it hidden by baggy point ill have to check next time

[babyboarder89]

if you cant see croyde its raining. if you can. its about to rain.
or the other way around i cant remember this saying so isnt true. north devon gets geat weather!

[PapaW]

I can assure you can only see it properly out on the slab.... Look at a map.

Looking towards baggy point you see it. Looking out to sea you see Westward Hoe into Heartland point.

Right at the bottom,im thinking a pic obviously taken from croyde...?

[PapaW]

Ah the September Sunsets. Towards the end of sept each year the sun sets right though the middle of lundy its sweet to see... From Baggy or Woolacombe!

I truly assure you, it can only be seen just looking up baggy point or on baggy point its self. you can't see it from the beach :p

[Hazy_daze]

Hm...alright Papa, i'm willing to go with ya on this one, but ill have a sneaky look when im down there this weekend

Hang loose

[PapaW]

Aye no worries... One thing for deffo is that you can't see it looking from teh beach. Like I said you might be able to see the edge of it at low tide or when your out back... but thats all

[Phil]

omg what a weekend some of the best waves ive ever had sat i was at puts for a good 3 hours had some of the biggest waves iver ever caught sunday was at puts agian but it was a bit bigger and after taking a proper beating by 3 freak waves leaving me so dizzy and disorantated i thought sod this and headed to lynmouth were i caught some realy powerfull head high waves but my leash came off on one wave and board got a bit beat up on the rocks :/

[PapaW]

Speaking of loosing boards... one of the guys out in this reef with me also lost his board to the rocks on Sat
I almost lost my self on the rocks at one point.. but thats all part of it right?! :D

[Phil]

good to see you caught some nice waves up there by the looks of it most of the uk was firing this weekend

[PapaW]

Yeah depended on where you were... Winds was a big issue... luckly the wind spun east up hear and we where blessed with said wavs above :)

Thats me getting caut inside. 1 of two nasty moments.. but the other 4hours were sweet!

[surferdude_scarborough]

getting caught inside sucks! well the north east has had some pretty good waves this week. ive been i scarborough tuesday was amazing at north bay but i couldnt go in coz i was doing stupid busines studies work but got in today at south bay which was quality!

[babyboarder89]

yep. was a big week. i got caught inside three times quckly in a row, then hit by some one elses board (got some badass bruises) and then realised i couldnt push myself up to sitting cos i was so knackered so i grabbed on my board and let it wash me in, been out for 3/4 hours that day and i was so tired!
