Talking of surfing
I'm up for giving it a go. What beaches do you go to, and do any do kit hire?

I tend to go to Saunton and Woolacombe
because I'm a longboarder. they are also massive and you can get away from the cunts.

you can hire stuff at or near both. most decent beaches have hire places nearby

Did you have an instructor when you first started out
or did you just give it a bash and see what happened?

I used to bodyboard
could do a load of tricks and stuff, but a few of my mates surfed properly (they are the ones who are awesome now)

I didn't go for ages while I was at uni and started again when I started working, cos most of my office surf. had a shit time bodyboarding one day, and that coupled with my mate barry looking cool on his longboard made me take surfing up properly.

Even being shit at surfing is better than being good at bodyboarding.

I knew the principles of it, and knew about how waves worked and stuff, so just got into it. Lessons are only worthwhile if you can't go really regularly. It's all about catching as many waves as possible to learn how to do it.

Thanks
I think I'll wait until I'm somewhere warm and beautiful, the likelihood of me catching decent waves in Manchester are slim.

Noted, thanks!
Was thinking of a weekend camping down in Devon with the missus.

Awesome!
It's merely a pleasant thought at the mo, nothing planned, but will let you know.

"...I'm a longboarder"
That's some neat returning to the thread topic, there.
