So its a Tuesday, the chart looks good for up North but we have to be back down South in Bournemouth for Saturday morning. Doable? Hell yes ladies and gentleman. Leave Newquay on Tuesday at 18:30 pm arrive at our most Northerly of Northerly destinations via a boat at 11 am Wednesday morning. Drive straight to the surf spot, get amongst it till the tide stops cooperating, then drive back to the digs for a quick sleep. Yawn! Wake up at 4pm have a good search for waves but the wind is being a twat so we retire for the day (happily) safe in the knowledge that tomorrow will bring us the day of all days!! (according to the chart) Wake up at 5am thursday check the waves on the ski, everywhere is maxed out!!! Nightmare!! What shall we do? I know, lets walk around a cold snowy island all day in search of something to tow!!
Yaaaaay. After 5 hours of walking it becomes apparant that we can either surf a small fat left hander ORRRRR, begin the journey back to the mother land in time to get a fun session at a well known righthand reef. Bearman calls it and we back our shit and get the show on the road. Eight hours later via roads boats and redbull, we get to our destination just as the sun comes out to find a perfect soupy 3-4 foot beauty with no one out!!! What a lovely end to a rushed trip. One hour later it goes onshore. Can't complain though as it pumped for an hour and every surfer knows that there is no better feeling than surfing perfect waves with a great bunch of mates hooting you in to anything that comes through.
So, still frothing to squeeze in one more surf before the sun goes down we drive down and have a little look at a few spots on the way home. We found some super fun waves just before the sun went down............. and 14 hours later we were in bournemouth with a beer in hand. Easy peasy!!! Have a look at the vid and let us know what you think!!!!
