[Wisemans]

[libby]

Surfed a few UK places, the beaches around where i'm from in the North East (secretish spots so best remain nameless), then Cromer, East Runton, Llangennith and heaps in NZ...Mt Maunganui, Raglan, 90 mile beach, T-Bay, Whangamata & a few other coromandel spots, Ruakaka hmmm and a few other places up north that i cant really remember!

[PapaW]

Christ yeah thats like asking how many jaffa cakes have you eaten! Like I could keep count

[Otter]

I dunno... I've surfed alot of breaks from North Santa Barbara County to South San Diego county. I've surfed since 1967. Probably hundreds of different breaks.

Folly Beach, SC - Main Break
Hunting Island, SC
Daytona Beach, Fl

i doesnt really matter to be honest.

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

[Wisemans]

keeping like a log book of how good a session was at whatever place is pretty cool.

[eastcoaster]

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

[IdRatherBeSurfing]

ermmmmm about 5

borth

[Aloha]

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.
