One for the surfers (Read 786803 times)

Got my first taste of aggro in the water yesterday from some rather serious south bay 'Locals'. They were very good surfers but snaked everything and were quite happily mowing people down. Apparently that's ok because they live there. After I politely remonstrated with them much hilarity ensued, and once I got over my disbelief that grown men could actually gang up and behave like playground bullies it was quite funny. They didn't like it when I just laughed back at them. If you ever fancy a days cragging lads just let me know.

ooo oooo ooooh... swell charts are looking insane for all Atlantic facing coasts this Wednesday, super long period, sizeable and with offshores predicted... Lined up a pre-work early morning at a special little left hand reef break that the tides and swell are perfect for. Hope peeps score some epic sessions..

Probably not the greatest prep for a week in Font but tis an opportunity not to be missed..

Granticus and Idle Lies, how's the SW?

Chris...

Big, mean and clean on Atlantic coasts yesterday. Sheltered spots fired up too, but not all-time. Seemed like every man and his dog was onto it on Wednesday mind...

Swell set to continue into next week but with a lot of W in the wind over weekend, then lots of S in the wind early next week. So should be good for sheltered spots again.

Had a fun session early this morning, clean and not so big n mean. Off to Font for a week tomor, so don't give a munkees!

better than the shithole you surf in!

SA Chris · October 24, 2009, 04:08:56 pm

Forecast was looking good, so I asked how it was?

Agree Aberdeen is shit compared to the SW, but give me deserted Banff, Philorth or Sandend over the busier breaks of the SW any day.

take a pair of shoes , chalk and a bouldering pad.
there are some amazing caves on the right side of the road opposite the Draculas reef. just before boilers. you can't miss them.
i did a few problems there. but didn't have the 'proper grips and rock boots".

there is potential for some great looking routes as well. take a drill.
