Worth seeing, not sure I'd be in the water though!

Hopefully wraps into the east coast for the weekend. First northerly swell of the winter and finally some proper waves.

I am guessing other than a few spots it will be too big. Tow boys will be out at Mully and gills will be worth the walk over the hill.

Christmas nightmare is upon me. Good swell, perfect winds for the best spot on east coast five mins from my door. And I have my wife's family with me all day. If I go it will be divorce, if I don't my dinners going to have a bitter taste.

Surfing does have a way of podding you off.

Pumping sun-tues though so here's hoping. Sunday looking XXL.

That's great, not too hard to work out where it is though! Pretty sure that was the crew we met on Hoy on the Longhope trip.

I'll take it to mean me too, despite never having suffered in the cold in a wetsuit; well, except for the 5 years of my childhood doing dinghy racing...

Evening fellow ukb surfsters,  in case you're not on the case, volcom pipeline pro is on live now in big pumping super clean conditions,  well worth a watch. :popcorn:

Came across this pic on a magazine which i thought some here will like  :bounce:



On googling the photographer found an eye-watering selection of spots http://www.chrisburkard.com/

Would the Sir care for a stroll of winter climbing in the morning followed by a surf session in the evening?

This is more to my liking. Not that i would go near them but i just find the "biggest ever" thing a bit tedious.

These must be among the "most perfect" though.
