Hi Baby~Surfer, welcome to Surfing Waves.

Don't feel bad Landlocked GEZ but I was born and raised in New York on the beach and now have to live in Dallas Texas, 6 hours away from the nearest beach.

Hey Crazzy_Nat,

I'm from East London, South Africa but living in Newcastle, England. Been in England for 7 years & nearly 5 years in Newcastle. Love it! Am on the verge of venturing into the north sea as soon as i get my board and pass my drivers. :D

Hey ya'll I am Jenilee I was home is Daytona Beach, FLorida, USA(east coast - Atlantic Ocean) the university I attend is in The "mid west" Toledo, Ohio, USA (Great Lakes). I am 17 and have been surfing for a little over 10 years. Skateboarding for 5 and this winter was my first snowboarding. I like H2O in all forms, as long as I can play!!

[Duncs]

I am :confused:

How can you be in University,...or "varsity" when you are only 17!? I mean i am 18 and am starting Uni this year....

I used to live in Florida....:beams: in Niceville, Ft Walton Beach. How cool am i?! Now i am the most landlocked surfer in good old west sussex england.

Hmmp, i cant wait to get to the breaks of Ecuador, Peru and Brazil in 5 weeks time!!!!

Yay,...stay stoked!

Hi All

If you calculate the farthest point from any coastline in the UK you would come across Leamington Spa, Warwickshire. Being an avid surfer, I have situated myself in THE most landlocked part of the country.

In fact there is an English Oak in one of the parks here that signifies the farthest point from all coasts.

'Meriden' - the official centre of England is only a few miles away!!

I like to think of it more as the closest place to ALL beaches in the UK!!

I am going to Warwick Uni next year,...which means in just over a year and a half i might be living in Leamington Spa too.

That's almost weird.

[sinistapenguin]

Duncs,

I see you chose a sensible surfing Uni!!

Actually, it looks like Warwick have got quite a good surf club:

I know, i checked that out before i applied. To be honest i decided i have my whole life to live by a beach, and it was the best uni otherwise for me...

But i got a 3 month surf strip to South America to look forward to,...i go in 5 weeks :D

The breaks of ecuador, peru, and brazil watch out, a wannabee surfer is on his way, soon to return a mildly competent surfer [one hopes]. Hopefully i will see some exciting things too.

I went to high school for a year and a half and tested out and graduated in Dec. 2002 and went to college at 16 in am the youngest in my university

[Pointbreak]

I'm from Vancouver Canada where there is no surfing. I live in London so I have to do weekend trips to Devon and Cornwall to surf but its pretty expensive (car rental + petrol + B&B + rent equipment = £££). I've tried surfing in Morocco and Long Island (outside of New York City).

Hey I guess the idea of the thread is where are you from but why not add where you've surfed.

[nz girl]

hey i'm from Dunedin, New Zealand and am 23 ( so old! ) and have been an avid surfer for about 5 or so months! we have real good waves here, the only problem is how bloody cold it is....

[ricoboard]

hi guys, I'm french (sorry Duncs fo the rugby, lol), from paris (nice city but too far from the sea...)
good idea Pointbreak, so I start : I surfed in Lacanau (famous place in south-west of france), brittany and recently in Lanzarote (great surf !). Next trip abroad : australia (gold coast)....
see ya
rico

[cara]

[tree_hugger]

California baby USA!!!! down in Orange County Wooo hoo!!

[Malibu Barbie]

Hey everyone!

I'm Hannah and I live near Oxford, in the UK. I didn't think there were that many other UK-ers on here but I seem to have found them all now...! So special hi to you! At least most of you can go surfing when you want - I have to do my GCSEs at the moment and Oxford's also not exactly close to any good beaches!! Also lack of transport is quite a problem for me, but I guess I can start learning to drive in..er...5 months! Wooh! I seriously can't wait!

So there you go, hello! xxx Hannah

(PS: If you were wondering from the username, no I don't look anything like Barbie - it's a brunette thing! My friends call me it because I'm a brunette and proud of it so they do it to annoy me! Many of them also seem to be hinting that I should have been born blonde...! No offense to any blondes because ALL my friends are blonde so if they're saying it, believe me, they don't mean it in a rude way!) Later...x

[PapaW]
