im heading down to bigbury for a couple before i head back to exmouth then saunton tommorow


Yup :roll:

Doesnt it make you feel loved and wanted to be getting 'ha ha you should be here, loser!' texts? :wink:

Not looking quite as exceptional as some of the forecasts predicted for this weekend, so I dont feel too bad about missing out. Looking very small for tomorrow.

Have fun :D 8) :D

Dispite a stinking head and well dodgy stomach I managed an hour and a half in 6-7ft+ glassy ceriad this morning.

Mate was filming got some pretty good stuff authough it was dark I htink I can bring it up in the edit room

Just me steve and two of the east coast boys out with the stand-up's watching till it got smaller.. (pussys) Was well heavy tho It has been better and heavyer... in the past.

I'll aim to get a couple of small clips uploaded this weekend.

La de daaa. Just got back from k-bay and it was about as good as it gets. 8-10ft faces on the sets and glassy smooth.
Had a few good rides but to be honest i was a litlte nervy getting back in the water after recent events so took it easy.
Still it was good and off to devon tomorrow to show phil how to surf his longboard properly....

Its when it bounces of the cliff that makes it soooo hollow. Had some great left handed waves their. And handles the prevailing winds better than HM
