i was on my way to hot pipes and i checket a few ous in the water. so i joined them. no named spot. but chatting to them i got to know about hotpipes and the marina and when they work etc. so im gonna try hook up with locals more because they say spots like marina are lank localised. i aint scared of localism or the pommies, i just want my fare share you in exeter hey? my first road trip is going to be cornwall so ill drop you a line when im comming down that way.

Kimmeridge reef.......1.5 hours from London, wakes up in big swell

watch the NE coast, can throw down gems that make Cornwall look silly.

I'm been thinking of a sneaky trip to Ireland in May.
Any reccomendations from the ous that have been that side? Only area/spot I've heard of is Lahinch...

yeah....watch the friggin weather, and if it looks non-ideal, DO NOT GO.......

spent 9 months in Clare (province of lahinch).There is some amazing potential, but it is very dependant on the crap irish weather.When it is crap, it is crap.Full on.

Crab Island (Doolin point) has a fun right, and there are some really good setups there (Bumbleoids is good for the boogie).There are some killer setups, very worthwhile just driving the coast to find your own once the swell is on. A boat or ski might be cool, there are some really distant outer reefs, i saw them breaking literally parallel to the shore the one day.

Noth Ireland (Galway Donegal etc) has some good reefs as well, but I have never been there.

tips;

1)drink guiness
2)Be prepared for sex-mad, veeeerrryyy drunk girls (seriously, my friend had wasted chicks literally falling on him as they stroked his chest on the dancefloor)
3)Don't get in a fight, there are some potent little boxers there
4)If it is HUUUUUGGGE.......check out Doonbeg castle
