Lynmouth

Postby moncho » Tue Nov 08, 2005 5:36 pm

Anyone surf here much? I lost my lynmouth virginity on sunday. It was rubbish - a 2 foot ride and you're ankle deep over the rocks. I was terrified of mangling my board so I was jumping off the back of the wave as soon as I'd popped up! How often does it work? Does it ever get really awesome?

Yeah I can see that, it was pretty local. Nobody was making eye contact or speaking at all even though there were only about 4 of us in there
