I sound like a broken record, so bored of this, but hey, it's the truth! IT IS messy, onshore and pumping.
Very noisy night here on the Point again, yawn...
Have a brilliant last day of the year, my Lovelies...

Bloody wind..messy and big and straight W

Ok, I'd say it was pretty much one of the windiest nights I have ever had here. And it looks like this wind malarky is here for a bit yet. Yikes. Hm, it is the weekend at least. So, wherever you are, enjoy it, People...surf's going to be blown out, messy, big.

Yuk, it's messy

Yep, still the same, never mind us all wanting to have a mellow Crimbo/New Year's surf, wind just keeps on coming...
It's SWesterlies, strong and I reckon Puts or somewhere similarly sheltered is your best bet..

Messy and roads still bad

Morning!It's strong SWesterly out there with messy surf. Roads are still bad, apparently water is receeding, but Saunton Rd. is still shut this morning and I imagine other places, too??
Hope you are all ok.

There's surf, but it is blustery SWesterlies...Puts may be your best bet. The roads are bad all the way between Croyde and Barnstaple, you'll need patience to get through.

A good shop to hang out in

Well, as the inventive headline suggests, this post is about good (surfy) shops to hang out in - because of what they sell, of course, but mainly because of who is behind the counter. You are right, nothing beats a moody, stoned teenager with a Bob Marley T-Shirt or, even higher on my list, is the cool surfer dude that is way too out there to speak to us mere mortals about anything that doesn't involve three fins.

Walking into a friendly shop is a bit like walking into your Mummy's kitchen - it's warm and friendly and smiley and you can ask for stuff and you will be given stuff and no-one makes you feel guilty about it.

Of course there is Constantine Surf Store and the lovely Des, I have already told you about that gem...But on my last Cornwall trip I went down to Perranporth and I drove past Bathsheba and I thought "Hang on, I've seen their ads in mags and stuff, I wonder how it is in there (and I wonder if they need tide books)" and I hit the breaks and I parked on the curb and I upset all the locals trying to squeeze past, but hey, it was all worth it.
Inside I found Dave and Matt and they made me laugh a lot within the first minute of me being in there and I reckon that is a pretty good indication of a good shop. I was so happy in there, next time I will bring a flask, a deckchair, a blankie and Trivial Pursuit and I will make myself at home.

Yeah, so if you are down that way and you need anything surf-related or you are sad and you want to see some happy faces, go in there and have a good time....

Peace.

It's still dark so excuse me if I'm wrong, but there seems to be hardly any wind and if the forecast is right, it should be pumping. Might phone in sick. Have fun.

Beach Striptease

Evening! Ha, I thought that title might make you all curious. Alas, no visible nudity here. Sorry. Just the potential of me flashing some poor sod in Saunton car park this morning while changing into my wetsuit.
Me and the lovely Emily - who refuses to have her photo on here because she is certain she looks like an ogre (!!) in every pic - went for a little longboard this morning and boy, was it chilly. So I thought I'd use this ueber-technology changing device called a Dryrobe that I was lucky enough to have been handed a few days ago.

 ...and guess what? It is big so you can fit all of yourself plus jacket plus bobble hat under it and I am even able to climb all the way into my Minizip (which isn't easy) AND put on my hood without leaving the shelter of the Dryrobe. You're a bit like a turtle, you pull in all your extremeties and then when you're safe and all dressed you pop them out again. It's extremely warm, so warm that I hung out in it in my van after changing with nothing underneath (yep). So basically, it'll save you from dreading changing in car parks.
Yes, and to silence you doubters out there, it is different from towelling robes in that it actually stays dry around you. How did the guy from Dryrobe do it? I don't know, he must be clever, I guess...
