Curly Ben, you didn't say if you want the Miki Dora book back. I can either post it back to you or pass it on to any other UKBers who want to read it?
Cool, trust you have been practising pop ups and swimming since the last time.Best advice I can give for going down the line of the wave on your mal board is take off slightly sideways (esp if the wave is breaking steeply) look down the line where you want to go, and don't be shy to shuffle forward on the board once you are moving if you think the wave will leave you behind.
Ermmmm, once again showing my ignorance. I've picked up from a number of sources that some breaks work better at different stages of the tide. So, is there a general rule here?
