hey, how you doin? ;) I posted this because I like ridin horses. Yes, ridin, the dirty version of riding. I like when the horse makes the whinny noise. It makes me feel more like a man.
Your a horse molester then? At least it's out in the open now buddy!

Sea surfing this Friday?
-
well done bill!i was making sure you were still fresh at this late hour! ;)

Bill not. In one of those strange surreal states of mind where you tube is actually interesting
-
Well, unless we get experienced paddlers to bring us out then we ain't going nowhere!!
-
Where you planning on going ley?
-
Where ever there's surf? What's the best place? I was hoping Finchie could help us cause he is a life guard. I could ask some of the lads in the the dive club tonight too.

Right, the weather scoop is for pretty shit waves on Friday m'fraid. West and SW coasts would be the best bets, but nothing to wet yourself over. Maybe 5 ft on W coasts Friday evening if we're lucky. However, Easkey Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, now that's worth getting exited about! Seperate sources predict 5m+ waves on West coasts thanks to a fresh Atlantic system pushing out the current unsettled system sitting off our NW coast. No-one is hazarding a guess as to weekend after next though, except vaguely SW winds of meh strength.
So the conclusion is not much surf this Friday, building steadily to late pm Tuesday/early am Wedensday, then dropping off again.
However there has been alot of rain lately...

Hey, if you're looking to get out, but not really confident to take on too much... The best option is probably around sandy cove. Its easy to get to, and only requires 1 car.
Around the beach part its shallow enough to drag yourself back in.
And if you get the weather right (i.e. warm) its a brilliant place to perfect you t-rescues, and improve your rolls
Also if you feel like stepping it up a notch, theres a nice paddle out past 40 ft, and along the coast there.
Although you should definitely be capable of doing water rescues there in case anyone swims. The rocks can be a little nasty, but then again, sometimes the seals will help ya!

Hmm sounds nice Clarkey!! I think there was talking of Bucky's bridge to Clara Veil if we could get another car!
-
If there's still room I'd love to go!

Nah, too much talk about it has turned me off paddling I think. :(
