Managed to finally get back in the water yesterday. Firs
t decent swell in a while and in comes the wind to spoil al
l. Made the trip down anyhoo and as I arrive it started to
rain ;-( Messy as all hell but decide I might as well get w
et after the 2 hour trip.

In for around an hour and
they are just thumpin, anyone got any tips on gettin from t
he flats back past the white water when that happens? Then
the wind swings round to the south and cross shore. Far fro
m perfect but good enough to have some fun and catch the od
d clean one.

Christ, waves in the west of Scotland a
re fickle.

Managed to sneak a day away from the farm and headed down t
o westport. It were mobbed, car park full - seems surfin ha
s gotten a little popular since last I visited. Just a sham
e the majority were sittin about in there posin pouches ins
tead of in the water.

Quick about turn when I saw th
at and met up wi some mates down middle beach. Nice for sep
tember, not that we get massive waves here, but 3-4 ft wi a
n off to cross shore kept a big smile on my face fer the re
st o' the day.

Heres looking to autumn and winter to
bring the swell and hopefully keep the wind down. Failing
that back up the hill when the snow arrives

Just got back from ma trip down through Ireland across to W
ales and then to the Big Chill Festival in Eastnor, England
. Stopped in Bundoran around half eight in the morning, in
the water for nine and didn't see a soul until I got out. N
ice glassy swell and driving rain. Would have been&nbs
p;like being at home if you removed the glassy swell.< >BR
Worked our way down the west as far as the Burren bu
t struggled having left the guide at home.

Back acr
oss to Wales and got in again at Freshwater west, not much
doing but the blazin sunshine made up for the small swell.


Then the Big Chill, fun fun fun. Quick burst back u
p the road to not so Sunny Scotland and alls well. Now work
, sh*t!
