OMG What a frustrating surf it looked so promising at 7ft@12secs, low tide Watergate on Dippy, it was so fat I recon I needed a longboard and unbelievably rippy my arms and shoulders were busting by the end of the sesh and I only caught a handful of waves! Had a nice big left and that was the wave of the day! Sucker!

Dawny at Croyde Low tide!
I got to Down End at 6.15 and there was already a guy charging, so I told him I wasn't staying and left after a big poo in the public toilets there! I parked at the good old National Trust CP for free (membership free anyway) It was heaving 40 people in at 6.30 and about 3million but 8.30 WTF! It was a real punchy wave around the 3ft marker, got slammed into the sea bed a few times but it's all good! Went in on Red (6' Adams Carbon Rail). Three diferent boards in three sessions, it good to make use of the quiver that has taken me years to build!

Croyde - Sunny, 3ft and Clean!
Went in on Dippy (5'11" Diplock) it was quite busy but for some reason no one was catching many waves except me and this guy on a fat green fish! Had a good surf but there was a big lull between sets and I got bored talking to myself in the end so I went after a couple of hours only after a good handfull of waves though!

The Cornish Gate!
It looked rubbish and I was meeting a none surfing uni mate that was down so I didn't rush in! Had a nice Hot Chocolate first! It was alot better than it looked I went in on Freddie 'The Flyer' and it was actually quite good fun found a nice peak pretty much to myself only a couple of kooks that I just kept snaking! There was a fun steep reform on the inside as it was low and it was shoulder high! 3/5

I have to back track a bit now as I am getting lazy with this blog already! I must try harder! Beck's working tonight btw!
Beck and I had the week off from 11th April so we headed down to Cornwall for the start of it, the only thing is it was; yep you guessed it; flat! Well near as damn it anyway! Loggable but without a log it was unsurfable! I did get in with Blocko though on the Sunday!
We went down to the Minnack Theatre which is an awesome place, the weather was wicked, we saw a pod of about 50-60 dolphins and I spotted some people on the nuddy beach which was funny. I mean really naked in the second week of April, the guy must be really desperate to get a black willy! Does a suntanned willy make a bigger willy? I've heard that black willy's are bigger than white!
Anyway back to surf reporting:-

As above me and Blocko went in for what I thought was a real desperate session at Godreefy (A little to the right of Godrevy but over the rocks at high tide, me and Blocko like to rename spots for fun!) It was actually quite fun we took it in turns to be the giver and the reciever and not in a gay way just a bit camp! We even had a little crowd taking photos and stuff! It's amazing how tired you get in 1ft surf, turn and burn and paddle straight back out and turn and burn again and so on!

First session without boots finally! I really do hate wearing boots! I had a site visit for work at Launceston at 2.30 conveniently arranged by myself so after I then headed to Watergate to meet up with Blocko (New daddy) the sun was shining and the surf was 2ft+ and clean I was pretty happy to be in the water and getting paid at the same time! Got a few waves under my belt too which was nice!

I had one of those antagonising mornings at work where I really could not decide whether the surf was going to be clean enough or not! Trev Toes Lumley reported 2-3ft and clean in the morning but I knew the wind was westerly and only getting stronger! I was listening/watching to the asp in Brazil and talking to people on Eyeball at the same time a couple of which (Ramon esp) had just been surfing so I got a recommendation that it was worth the trip from Exeter! He was right it was head high on the sets and alot cleaner than I thought albiet a little choppy, I had a couple of bombs from outback right into the beach, it got shit at high tide so I headed in.
This is where it all got a bit painfull, I parked at the National Trust Carpark not thinking about the fact that the shortcut over the rocks is not accessible at high tide, therfore Ihad to walk the long away around with bare cold feet, I felt like I had wore my feet down to the bone by the time I got back to the car! Ouch
