These winds look like staying around for quite a while :(

Low after low after low crossing the UK for at least the next week - possibly quite a lot longer :roll:

Cool. You'll have to post some pics of the new board phil.
Theres some decent surf over here. This secret spot is creating some perfect waves. 3-4ft clean.
