to be honest Adam, selling boards isn't worth the hassle unless you really line up a sucker who hasn't got a clue about prices.

or if you are absolutely desperate and will take anything.

hang on to them, because one day you'll look back and wonder how you ever rode those things back then 

i have a few boards from the early 80's. the term Barge springs to mind.

good luck, every day there is a sucker born

The period on those waves is amazing. If you like the overhead camera shots, check out the young guns DVDs.

Fultonius, you showing an interest in your injured state? Got a spare board.

WOW 

Indeed!  Boomer of a swell... Amazing shots...  Particularly the dolphin enjoying the surf.

The Wedge just looks evil..  Unfortunately a bodyboarder died after hitting the rocks here on this day. :'(

We all know and love the DFBWGC thread, well here is a DFBWGS



Just google pictures of Alana Blanchard, outrageous, and on the world tour. Respect...

[Falling Down]

The world of surfing has an unending supply of DFB's... one should refrain from posting too many for fear of washing away our own climbing thread in a deluge of bikini clad uber-fanny.

[fatdoc]

lookin for some surfin beta here guys..

I'm gonna be on the coast at or near to scarbrough from this weekend for a week.. I've got 2 lads and a wife damn keen to try to surf... I'll be googling it all of course to get some info / book em a few lessons etc..

I'd be grateful for any locations / surf schools / beaches or general advice.

I've heard that there may be a suitable venue just north up the coast???

cheers.

[Falling Down]

Cayton Bay just south of Scarborough has board hire, showers and a cafe all above the beach so there's no messing around driving with boards on the roof.  That should see you right

[SA Chris]

Currently looks like earlier in week will be better than later, so don't put it off. Never pass up the opportunity for water time!

Theres a low currently forecast to pass over on the weekend, then hanging about a bit, but forecasts seem to differ on how long.

http://magicseaweed.com/Scarborough-Surf-Report/22/detailedLongRange/uk/ Has links on right of page.

We will hopefully be surfing the same swell.

[fatdoc]

cheers guys, I'll get cracking!

Any joy with the surf fatdoc?

Had a good session thursday evening, noce southerly swell, and weather ran the full range from torrential rain, wind, bright sunshine, and finished up with double rainbow. Brazilian mate was in water (thanks to FD's spare wettie), first time surfing in N Hemishere and first time in a wetsuit. He was made up, first tiemin water for 4 months. Also had a bit of a southerly windswell this morning, got in for an hour and a bit before work. Shifty peaks and erattic swell, but managed half a dozen good rides. Roll on autumn.

Cooking!!!!

Surfed Puttsburough.... tidy barrels at 3ft... clean! moving to Croyde!!!!

[granticus]

Idol moving to Croyde.... Share the wealth!  It's one seriously expensive village.

So how much did they fleece you for in the Putts car park for those cheeky little barrels, apparently they broke the £7 barrier this summer which is probably tollerable if your on your hols and are staying the whole day but if you're getting an hour or 2 in before works it sucks..

Had a 'dawnie' down there today with just two of us in, absolutely splendid after a typical summer of crowded mayhem.  Stoked! Roll on winter!

Ah! Winter lets!  If you are prepared to live away from 'the bubble' (Croyde), it'll be cheaper still... 

See you out there, if there is ever any surf

[PatKingDebtCollection]

winter lets are cheaper!!!

I can see what's going to happen...

Landlord "where's the rent for the last 2 months?"

Idle "tell you what, I'll give you a load of this expensive gear that I umm.. get from my... er sponsor. It's worth 3 times what I owe you."

Landlord "I'd rather have the cash"

Idle "No, you misunderstand. I need that gear for my photo shoots. I'm merely offering to let you use it until I.. um.. buy it back off you. I'll be paying you what I owe you in cash and you get to use the stuff as like a deposit"

Landlord "well..."

Idle "look at this jacket, and these, and this, and this..."

Landlord "it is all very nice..."

Idle "you take it all if you like it"

Landlord "all of it! Really? Nice"

Idle "that's settled then"

Landlord "yeah"

Idle "its just that... well that stuff is worth far more than what I owe you so far.."

Landlord "yes, clearly"

Idle "well how about I definitely buy it back on the the 20th of next month and you let me have the cash for next months rent now, just to make it all fair"

Landlord "? ? ? ? ?"

Idle "you can have these pills and a bag of this to help you decide"

Landlord "wibble blurt.. yeah man, cool. What do I owe you?"

Next month...

Barmaid "alright there Landlord? You look smart in that jacket"

Landlord "cheers!"

Dude at bar "hey that looks just like the jacket and pants I loaned to the chap who is renting your cottage. I've been looking all over for him!"

All "Idle!!!!"

*queue Benny Hill music*

[PatKingDebtCollection]

This Croyde place. It's pretty small right?

[Idol eyes]

Ha Ha, Yeah! Quaint I would say... and suits the Benny Hill music, you should come down... and get lost!!!
You missed out the bit where the LANDLADY!!! tries to get it on with me behind the back of her builder boyfriend ( of are you the one who was seeing the mind doctors!!!) and gets rejected...
Women!!!! the start and end off all lifes problems.

[Idol eyes]

Has anyone heard of Miki Dora!!!

[Falling Down]

Errr yes. Why do you ask?

[SA Chris]

Has any surfer not heard of Miki Dora?

[Idol eyes]

OK... has any one read All for a few perfect waves?

[SA Chris]

Yes, it's OK, mildly interesting but not very well put together, and a bit over long.

Want to see the new Bustin' down the Door film but not showing locally.
