    hello fellow spongers!! i just got back from 5 days in Newquay.

    monday early morn (6:30am) i scored 4-6 foot fistral with like 5 other stand-ups out. mon afternoon was smaller and crowded to the max!!

    tues was onshore and crap.

    wed and thurs was 2-3 foot.had some good fun but it got really crowded. thurs morning prob got to about 4 foot but tended to close out.

    fri was my last day there so i was out at 6am(still dark till about 7am). fistral was lank crap but the bay had clean 3 footers. tended to close out but was good to get wet!

    all in all, i had a jol. the water was freezing- i wore a 4/3 and froze my nuts off!!!

    if anyone can tell me how to load pics to a thread ill try post a few pic my gal took. shes no pro but it would give you owes a idea of what it was like...

    to all the owes who said i should consider coming over to the uk instead of chasing a career at my age (22), SHOT!!! you owes were right, im having a joll, scoring waves and can hopefully get that good job when i get back. morocco or canaries is my next mission :wink:

    nice one lyle, good to hear!! did you check out newquay wedge at all on the slightly smaller days?! can be super fun and yes crowded also....haha

    how frequent are you down that side? ever been to a spot called MI's? Such a fun and sick bodyboarders wave....yup the water does sure get cold there, wait till around Jan - April... then you will freeze in the water!! haha... paddled out with 4/3, boaties, gloves, thermal vest, hoodie and only lasted about 30 maybe 45mins max!!

    good times and good to hear you digging it!... if the pics are uploaded somewhere on the internet then add them below the comment box wiht the URL or upload them to the gallery :)

    jeez bru, sounds like you spent quite abit of time round this area? didnt hear about a spot called MI's. did check out a wedge- by the harbour?? well, it didnt pick up swell so never even saw it break. i didnt explore much. i was only in newquay for 5 days. so surfed fistral and some of the main beaches. fistral was a good wave though so was most enjoyable. will be back and will search more next time.
