Surf fitness is a totally different animal all together! Feed me the Stoke..

After enduring over 8 weeks out of the water due to summer working season etc I have just completed my 5th surf session in a couple of days and it is bloody hard work.

You can swim, play rugby, box but nothing prepares you for 2-3 meter surf better than just getting in there and getting battered..

The upside is that the getting battered and surfing like a novice for a week or so is a small price to pay as you feel your surf fitness and confidence coming back which of course then leads to STOKE.

Surfing for the stoke is addictive, anyway more food then back in the water to make a clown of myself again, but I don't care in a months time I will be ready for the main event which is in every surfers calender > Winter time and winter swells bring it on and feed me the stoke!

All we do is surf!

 

Stoked!

Another great day for most of Europe's surfing population with more on the way time to get that pasta down you, wax your board and fill your boots!

All we do is surf!

Live, Surf and Travel (All we do is surf!)

At last the Western seaboard of Europe get's real surf with some surf spots recording 20 second swell period which is amazing for Europe. It was just a case of pick a spot on the map, pack boards and go..

With waves forecast for a few more days it looks like a fun weekend for everyone. looking at the long range forecast looks like we will have to wait another 10-14 days before the next big low winds itself up in the Atlantic and hopefully we get a repeat of this swell.

Our surf lessons have been getting great waves at Caswell bay and the water is warm there until mid November so learn to surf on empty beaches this Sept/Oct with SurfGSD

The new face of SurfGSD for 2010/11 is Swansea based surfer Luke age seven

He is going to be one to watch in the surf and apparently is already a very good football player!

Hopefully he will follow in the footsteps of Josh Hammett, Adam Reminitz, Beth Mason and Gwen Spurlock.  By the way his sister Lara has the makings of being a great Welsh talent also.

Our surfing lessons operate all year and we provide all the equipment required so see you on the beach.

Junior surfing for young people from the Autism spectrum at Caswell bay

Well despite the weather there are waves at last and likely to last all week! It has been a long period of poor weather and small waves for learning now at least the waves should offer all surfers something to play in.

On the upside it was great to see our young surfers on BBC Wales the other night hopefully they will get the financial support they require to keep on surfing at Caswell bay > http://bbc.in/aQJahM

Summers here at least there is surf at Caswell Bay for the surfschool !

 Well more rain today, hopefully clearing up this arvo. Fun waves for the surfschool at Caswell Bay again today due to the protection offered at this particular beach.

Above picture is of my daughter aged 9 wiping out all part of the joy of surfing, rain or shine your going to get wet anyway!

For the rest of the week it looks like a westerly flow with sun, rain, cloud and more rain so yes typical of what British summers are known for!  Next Friday onwards looks like the jet stream is changing and we may get a period of nice weather..so keep the faith !

Anyway see you on the beach >
