family holidays

[bluesnowcone]

dont you just hate them, of all places in the world to go, my family has to go to cyprus, i know there can be a little wave, but why not portugal, or france, no they have to go to cyprus flats vill, ful of holiday makers

i would prefer it if they left me on saunton beach with a tent,and some cash that way i could kip in the dunes with my board and but cheap food.

yep, i total sympathise with this as I am missing this weekends good swell because I am also being taken on a family holiday. But I am actually looking forward to it as I can go rock climbing!!

never hated them that much, mind you all my family surf so our holidays where usually to surf spots

Sandy Beach is supposed to be longboardable, but I don't know...

Cheer up tho. Scrounge some cash for a boat trip and you might get lucky - if you hook up with the right guide.

The <dead url> article on WetSand might cheer you up.

well they havent booked, but thats where they want to go, im gunu try and work some magic and atleast get them to go some were surfery

If you are going in the winter the Med has waves.

Greece and Italy for eg.

But you are going to need to keep checking swell/wind maps/forecasts morning and night if you want to get luck. And you'll need luck

And a car/boat

May I suggest....



Maui...This is from Ho'okipa in early to mid August. Not only every kind of surfing, but plenty of other things to do to keep the non water inclined people in the family happy too.
