Storms

November pumped with high quality swell most days.

December though has been a complete non event (surfingwise). Yesterday was the first reasonable chance of getting in for me which I conspicuously failed to take. :@~

Has it just been crap in North Devon or is this a more widespread phenomenon?

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when my fear is gone I will turn and face fear's path, and only I will remain.

I think December has been good to kitesurfers and windsurfers.

I will surf tomorrow just to get wet.

Re: Storms

I went in at East Witterings yesterday. My city slicker arse got tossed around like a toy boat. BH the time I finally paddled out and caught a wave it was time for a pint!

Must train the upper body too!

Re: Storms

It's the longest spell of unrideable waves I've known!!! I can barely call my self a "surfer" when I haven't been in for weeks....bring back winter. It was dry and there were waves....

With the exception of March and a few days here and there the surf has been poor to appalling. What's happening?

Re: Storms

The North East has been shit. Either dead flat or mushy as hell all the way through December/January.

Any day which could have been at least a bit decent for logging, you could pretty much guarantee that I would be stuck at work.

Sick of rubbish surf, rubbish snow and rubbish cold wet miserable weather...

Rant over.

Roll on spring time!
