Nice - looks cold - long time since I surfed but had a great day at Newquay in the eighties - I remember it was around Easter, probably '87 or '88. Grew to around 6-8 ft by the end of the day, was actually sunny (water still cold) and clean as hell. Don't forget people, it's the Atlantic... the same Ocean that flows up to New Jersey, Florida, Portugal etc. The physics of waves is no different, just need a mid atlantic storm and the right beach.

thats not big

The news in Hawaii said there was no surf in England guess they were wrong.

Question Englsih surfer dudes....why is there so many guys out there when it's 3/5 the size and overcrowded. But when a better wave is avaliable this is not the case, where I come from this is the opposite no matter the condition of the wave! Bigger,better means conditioning yourself to a better surfer or have I been mislead by my sensei?

@boerbevok

So you're telling us to either stop surfing altogether or to move abroad and take it up seriously?

This is as good as it gets so we make the most of it. England isn't a traditional surf location, it's not got the natural conditions that make 'epic' spots. But that does not mean we're not allowed to go out and just have a bit of fun mate.

Was in Newquay around 1982-1984. Had from 2' - 3' sloppos to 6' - 8' offshore wind hollowed "Widowmakers." (if one was married- highly unlikely as it was my OE!) Loved the people of Newquay & the way it took time for this colonial bloke to be accepted. Mate- once accepted the folk made it extremely difficult to move on. Thank you Cornwall.
