Indoor surfing centre looks great fun but possibly painful

Here is another youtube video on flow riding not sure if I like the look of the wipeouts though.There are loads of videos uploaded on the net the wipe out ones are scary. The body boarders look like they use the machine the best and I guess at least there are no sharks in the water...

Indoor surfing pools here in the UK are they the future?

Flowrider: Dreamworld Surfers Paradise Indoor surfing pool

What do you make of these flow rider machines? Do you think this may be the future for surfing in the UK? Currently most experts believe it will increase the numbers of surfers here in the Uk and encourage areas inland to attempt surfing before heading to the real thing.

I should think it would be very difficult to copy the thrills that the Ocean can deliver along with the experience of travelling and meeting new peoples and making friends surfing is all about 'experience' in and out of the water.

Oahu, Hawaii.

I love Hawaii, it's that simple. Every wave tests you and your ability. I truly believe that if one is to be a surfer he/she must travel to the home of surfing to sample it's delights at least once.

Chris Bertish big wave surfer

Chris Bertish is not only a good friend of mine but one of the few people that I trust in the most challenging of surfing conditions. Chris, simply in my view is one of the best big wave surfers in the world.

Atlantic Island big wave surfing paradise

This is an outdoor adventure paradise. The surf is of the highest standard with the North Atlantic throwing the largest rideable waves at the perfect points.

Pays Basque

A great place to eat good food, surf excellent waves if your lucky. Go out of the silly season and you will score perfect waves.

Richard Mullins

Here are just a few of Richards surf shots, how good would it be to have your logo on his boards! Well now here is your chance, he needs a sponsor for the forthcoming years to help him compete on the BPSA and travel the world surfing radical waves.

mountain boarding comes to Gower, Wild West Wales.

Next spring 2007 GSD will be operating a mountain board school here on Gower and hopefully Cornwall to work closely with the exsisting surf schools based in the same locations. As with the surfing our dirt boarding passion is going to be directed at offering quality courses for all, teaching this fun new extreme sport.

Cool camping vans for surfers.

These cool campers are now available from the guys at www.surfseekers.co.uk the M.D has surfed for 30 plus years and travelled extensively in various types of surfer vehicles and came up with these beauties.

Surf lifestyle picture contest.

At the Eisteddfod Swansea 2006 our Welsh speaking surfing coaches held a Picture contest. Fun was had by all including some as young as three years old. Local Welsh artist Rhys Mason was on hand to pick the top pictures and they have been selected for our surf blog. Four of the artists will be recieve a phone call over the next week to claim their free surf day at Caswell with us. Thank you to all the young people that entered and had fun at the Eisteddfod
