After what most long time surfers are calling the worst period of surf here in the Uk (east coast has been pumping though) it looks like the dart boards are starting to re-appear on the charts and sending surf to us and the rest of the Atlantic coastline of Europe. 

I spent last Saturday looking at properties in Clifton, BS8 and had an awesome coffee and cake in the Boston tea company on white ladies road almost as good as Holbrook's in Swansea  then headed down the m5 to meet up with the Mullins clan and food in the famous Lotus restaurant in Newquay. You must try this place guys especially the 'weeping tiger'.  On the Sunday I went to the BSA surf school and surf coaches seminar and gave a talk on sports development and surf nation,(Based on the book by Alex Wade). I highlighted the poor performances of English football and the Welsh rugby teams (post big Mike) and how surfing can learn from the mistakes that major sports have made, ie no clear strategic sports development and not addressing activity exclusion. Sport in the UK has been described as 'class institutionalized'.

As I drove away from Fistral the surf was fairly stormy but least it was surf!

Anyway, have you got time owed? If so why not jump on a plane, a car or train and head west as magic seaweed is giving a plethora of the major surf spots a five star for this Sunday.

Not sure what I am doing yet, think I will watch the ocean forecasts closely before putting myself in a pole position for some prime surf at last...... Will keep you all posted as the charts become clearer..
