Tow in Surfing Vid

Some good footage on this one. Located somewhere in the UK, you'll have to guess where, but the cliffs are the give away!

Aye I've seen this before Its 'Alieens'. what gets me is why stand-ups have to tow in when in the latest ThreeSixty issue there are sick shots of spongers taking the dropps and running the line with no problems...
Infact all the stand-ups are just riding the shoulder, how lame. I sware towing in is jsut making people lazy.

Alright just thought I"d point out this spot is not in uk its actually in a secret area, I should know i live there .
I also know where the spot is but impossible to get to without jetski or boat.

<edited because we don't want people knowing>

i wouldnt say there just riding the shoulder some of them are geting some sick barrels and its easyer to take vertical drops on a sponge than it is on a surfboard

What I'm getting at is that the spongers arn't having to be towed... if we can get in without a tow and we have loads of drag when paddling then why can't a stand-up?

Slight missuse of the phrase UK there as i was meaning to encompass the whole of the uk and ireland in one hit. Fully aware of the spots location just didn't want to announce it on the internet.
