The Great British Summer

Ah, the joys of the great british summer!

A beautiful weekend in August! Sunshine at the beach, smiling families, melting ice creams, the smell of suntan lotion, the allure of babes in bikinis...

...or not,

Devon on saturday....

requiring the great multi-hoodied, multi-towelled wetsuit change

But there were at least some waves...

Still felt like an oddly warm winter session though! :shock:

Hi DBB i got in today, the waves were wicked, but it doesn't feel at all like summer, last year i was in boardies all year, and now!! i can hardly do that! we've had like one week of nice weather!

However the swell has been good this summer (for a summer) and i've had some good sessions.
