Hi all

My name is James, i'm 16 years old. Also from swansea. Been surfing 4 years now, still trying to get a sponsorship :x. I'm going to enter every comp I can this year, really want to improve my surfing in comps. I ride pretty much everything apart from longboards, i'm lucky becuase my dads got a huge quiver and he lets me use his boards. I prefer shortboarding but love retros/eggs/fishes ect..

Joined this forum after having a read around, everyone seems cool. :)

Ted, 23, North Florida. I just started surfing earlier this month using a 7'10" funboard, a BiC and am buying a pop-out from the same company later this month (possibly a 7'0"-7'10"). In addition to surfing I'm a rugby fan, an avid reader (I just polished off Waiting for Godot), swimmer, long distance runner and a movie fan. A wide assortment of interests to be sure.

Paul 25 I'm new here and had great advice already :D

I've not been surfing long and still splashing around in the white water, but we all got to start somewhere....

Just moving to Walsend, Newcastle so my local spot will be Longsands Tynemouth, hope to see some of you down there soon when I get my own board at the end of the month WOOT!

Love reading and films have a stupid amount of dvds, if its sporting i like it, heck i'm always up for doing something :D
