Looking promising for tomorrow.I'm torn between a surf,cycling to work and the arms workout I'm actually supposed to do.The dilemnas of the hyperactive fruitcake.

On a course tomorrow (Friday) at St Mellion so gonna get down Whitsand way for about 0530. Winds are going to pretty much nothing so looks good for East of Tregantle.
You on the same course Surf Empty? If so, fancy joining me?

No course for me (might still go for the wet-wipes though).
Might head out early - haven't checked f/c yet. Any ideas?

Sounds tempting, but get up at 04.30 on my day off? (When the kids have kept me up for the past two nights)

Yup.
By the time you get home they'll be at school and you can doze the day away.
I called our illustrious leader earlier to check the time and told him I was going for a surf. He said "but you'll be all salty".
£75 of my own money to go on the course? I'll turn up f*cking naked for that:) price if I want to!

No but I have a flask of warm water, a flannel and a pack of wet wipes. He's just flapping cause he's comparing bless him.

Caerhays was sweet this morning. In at 7.30, bit weak at first but some real nice sets (3ft) rolling in about 30 mins later for a good while. Long breaking lefts off the rocks and connecting with nice reforms at centre of beach.
Two kayak surfers out sharing the stoke and a shy porpoise!

South's bigger than north with this swell and its a wee one. I'm gonna take on Bamfum at 0530 or so if anyone is around. could be a bellyboard session looking at it.
Rest of the W/E is a write off I think.
Happy Birthday to Surfmatt for tomorrow. I'll gift you up next time I see you.

Bantham was knee high. Looked at Challaborough first which was the same so could've saved to uber-paddle across the river.
Anyway, a few fun belly slides on Da Bomb before it all died off.
Swell's gone. Largely flattened by the strengthening wind.
Glad I got in yesterday!

Fair price, cheers. Will have to leave it a month or so though (having just paid for 3 tyres this week).
Will bring it into work tomorrow and give back to G (so he can pass on) then collect with money when I'm not so skint.

Here's Chally yesterday.
