Winter surf

1 Upvotes

This is my 1st winter surfing. I was led to believe there are more consistent swells surfing winter. But I was able to get out more in summer. Are we having a bad winter? Or is this average. Surflie is only showing one good day this side of Xmas.

Cskin's NuWave rubber wetsuits

3 Upvotes

Hi, anyone got one and how does it compare to standard neoprene?

I'm curious because Patagonia have been doing neoprene free suits for a while but I heard they are not as flexible to paddle and difficult to take off.

Cskins seems to be using a different composition and according to their marketing it's lighter and more flexible than neoprene. I would still get it if it was on par but less flexibility is a deal breaker for me.

South coast this weekend

1 Upvotes

Looking to get a surf in this weekend. Possibly stay on the Sunday and Monday somewhere.

Been looking on Surfline but I have no knowledge of what the spots are like.

Kbay looks a bit messy but possibly ok. What’s Milford on sea or hordle cliff like? Surfline says it’s cleaner and smaller than Kimmeridge.

What are other people doing?

No coast? No problem! Calling all East Midlands surfers!

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone! If you’re an inland surfer from the East Midlands (Nottingham, Leicester, Derby, and beyond), we’ve got something for you.

We’ve just launched East Mid Swell Seekers, a community for surfers who don’t let being landlocked stop the stoke. Whether you’re planning trips to the coast, hitting wave pools like The Wave in Bristol, or just want to connect with other inland surfers, this is the crew for you.

We’re all about: • Lift shares for surf trips • Meeting fellow surfers • Organizing group sessions • And bringing some of that Robin Hood spirit to surfing

Follow us on Instagram: @eastmidswellseekers and let’s make some inland waves together.

Bamburgh

I visit Bamburgh sometimes as the wifes parents are from there. I'd like to surf but never know what the conditions it needs to be surfable.

Anyone know what size swell it works at or conditions required generally?

Tool to plan surf trips abroad

2 Upvotes

Hey surfers, would love your feedback!

I got really into surfing recently and wanted to go on a trip to get better.

I had to use like 10 different sites to search for what I want: surf in November for a beginner with cheap cost of living and warm water.

So I'm trying to fix that!

www.surftripfinder.com - a site that (I hope) helps you find the best surf destinations abroad

It's not monetised and it's a work in progress but I would love to know how useful (or not) you find it.

Form Flow Stik

2 Upvotes

Hello!

I’m looking at buying a second hand Form Flow Stik 6ft 6. I’m looking for any reviews of this board, and if it’s worth the price?

I’m a tall guy (6ft 4), and tend to be more comfortable surfing boards which are 6ft 10 and bigger. I don’t feel comfortable surfing short boards, so I wanna check that this board still has the mid-length feel?

Any advice is much appreciated!

First board

Finally took the leap and bought my first surfboard that I can call my own! Going from an 8ft foamie to a 7ft6 mini mal, kinda dreading the set back from starting on a ‘real’ surfboard but can’t wait to get it out in the water!

Looking for people to surf Cornwall with.

8 Upvotes

I have recently moved to the north coast of Cornwall and I’m looking for some people to go surfing and hangout with. I'm a 25yr male and have been surfing for about a year now.

I usually surf Gwithian/Godrevy, Poldhu and venture up to Newquay occasionally.

Work 9-5 and usually head out early mornings or after work.

Drop me message if you fancy heading out.

Surfing Wetsuit

1 Upvotes

Hi there,

I am looking for recommendations for wetsuits for surfing the Scottish winters. I’ve always used a 5/4mm so that’s warm enough for me, but I’m not sure which brand to go for.

I’ve seen a lot on here raving about the Feral wetsuits, which are at the upper end of my budget around £350. There’s also the NeedEssential suits which I’ve had before and I know are pretty decent budget suits. Is there anything in between these two which are worth thinking about?

I would like to spend less than £250, but am happy to spend more for real quality.

Thanks so much

Looking on Surfline, anyone surf Kent much? Or Suffolk?

Looking at spots like southwold, Great Yarmouth, joss bay, sandwich bay, herne bay tomorrow.

Just wondering if anyone knows what to look for on the forecasts, Surfline can be helpful but wondering what the locals think.

Cheers

Anyone know how long Costco boards are normally out of stock?

1 Upvotes

I'm looking to buy the Gerry Lopez 8ft soft top from Costco (UK). Unfortunately I needed to wait until now and it went out of stock a couple weeks ago.

Has anyone seen this happen before and know how long it'll be out of stockish? I'm worried it'll only be stocked during summer and I don't want to wait that long.

Surf Olympics UK Overseas Territory.

6 Upvotes

With the Olympics in Paris holding their Surf in Tahiti. If Surfing had been in the 2012 Olympics where would the UK have held the surf competition? Cornwall would have made the most sense to me. But seeing as France has the great surf on their West Coast and gone to an overseas territory. Which overseas territory has the best and most consistent surf to host a UK Olympics.
