how too get too boscombe from southend on sea with my 6 ft board. So i can go away, not too surf there. Don't drive, can not get the train and a cab costs too much. Help and the express thing will not take the board

Go on, add some punctuation and we might have the slightest hope of understanding that :wink:

Lift shares... find other surfers in the local area or who pass though.

MSW has a lift share section..

Jeez, thats not even funny! Its seems Essex really does suck - im working on it dude and if I can think of anything ( I really am trying) I will let you know. If it wasnt for the time issue I'd drive up and collect you myself. Hmmm, I dont know anything about trains from your area but perhaps you can get somewhere west and we'll pick u up on the way?

If your board is no longer than six foot I am pretty sure you are aloud to take it on the tube as long as it isn't during the hours of peak operation. I got in the xxxxx for having an 8ft Mal on it but they didn't do anything just had a go at me? Try www.tfl.gov.uk and essex is a hole innit! :P
