i doesnt really matter to be honest.

I am just interested in how interested people are in going to new breaks or not.

2many to remember. should have kepy at diary or domething. good idea for u groms will be good to look through when your 30something

a few that stand out

europie outer hebrides & thurso same week. hell of a trek
raglan nz perefct 3ft glassy lefts
snapper oz lucky enough to get a wave to myself without getting burned and it was a bomb
supertubos portugal barrel city couldnt make any but worth getting smashed
a month in the dominican. surfed everywhere no hassles.
6 months in france bit further north away from the crowds summer 96 think it was
nov 1st last year. scabs uni reef. absoloutely off the scale. 20min paddle outs & well well overhead
ulawatu & padang padang last winter crowded but awe inspiring as well as pant shitable

most stuck in my mind

morrocho this winter just gone. 3 weeks travelling up and down and staying whereever. surf was amazing, weather was hot, food was good, weed was better. surfed the same day thats in the mags at the moment.

I keep a log. Whenever I surf somewhere new I add to it. I've also flagged them all on Google Earth here is an excerpt. I also have break type (beach,reef or point) ocean (Pacific, Atlantic, Indian) and notes on how it was on that day, but not included here.

Some people would call North Steyne, South Steyne, Queenscliff as the same place as they are all on the same stretch of beach. Same goes for other places. I haven't added new ones for a while as I haven't had time to go on road trips for ages. Hope to go back to Bali soon and surf the reefs as the last time I went was about 15 years ago and I couldn't really surf then. I'm 30 now and started surfing again about 3 years ago when I moved to Oz.
