[Laguna]

Aint been able to do much surfing in the winter now, havent had the time, but in the summer holidays I will go down gennith every week, I usually go to caswell after uni or something as its closer. Im in Swansea uni at the moment, live about 20 miles from the uni.

[Laguna]

The problem with Gennith is that when it's big and the tide's out it's the world's biggest b*tch of a paddle to get out!

Also there's the interesting brown foam effect that you get sometimes - 2 weeks of gastric infection from it - it's not fun!

I drove down from the Midlands to Rest Bay earlier this year, cos the forecast said 3 ft - it was flat with screaming onshores!

Never mind.

Might see you down there sometime Tube - it's my closest break
