depends how you define big, but I've not surfed waves much over head height this side of the isle of wight, but I digress... nah I get your point, I just think being polite the first time round might be all it takes of course repeat offenders should get shouted at, but that won't make them listen fu...

you're a charming fellow aren't you? if it were a dangerous situation then yeah I'd have a problem but it isn't, we surf pathetically small waves which are mushy and slow enough to never need to be in a dangerous situation if you're stupid enough to be sat inside an inexperienced SUP then sooner or ...

I have ordered a new surf board and a new wetsuit and I am looking forward to been able to surf :o Now what bothers me is that I am new to all of this and every website I look at (they) tell you to stay away from the other surfers due to them not likeing beginners. as long as you avoid brighton mar...

yeah exactly that scenario...

anybody tried bodysurfing high tide hotpipe? I've been wondering if it's doable with the gates in the way, looks like a potential to break some ribs to me, but also looks a lot of fun
