Dark evenings, no surf

Postby surfdaisy06 » Sat Nov 04, 2006 10:10 pm

Its really annoying me at the mo that when I get home from school I cant go and surf, cos when I do get back home its getting dark. I only get to surf at the weekends now and its soooooo crowded then. :(

Random Q: What time is the sun setting down in the south of the UK and do you get to surf from after about 4:30pm?

I work the perfect hours for being a surfer. I start at 6:00PM, and get off work at 2:00AM.

Drive there in the dark to be in the water for 1st light. (about 6:45am atm) you got a good hour/ hour and a half before you gotta stert thinking about getting out for work etc.

If it was my own place it would always be empty :P
I might let a few people in every now and again, but limited numbers so it wouldn't be over crowded ever.
