Title: Re: surf and wind on the opposite= big waves Post by: the coppersmith on November 19, 2018, 11:43:53 AM Stinkey, I have been at it since 1965, I'm still envious of them that do it so well ;D as my age increses, I seem to be losing the edge. One way or another I'm going to keep trying, same with the frog. Scary riding a bike now. But that is my decision, if I go, I go doing it my way, not laid in a bed waiting for god. I have been promised a Viking Funeral, I hope they wait until I'm gone ;D ;D

Title: Re: surf and wind on the opposite= big waves Post by: BikerGran on November 19, 2018, 06:52:22 PM These may not look very impressive to you coppersmith but this was Kimmeridge, Dorset yesterday - the waves there are usually broken up and messy but these were really long and even - perfect for paddlesurfers!
Title: Re: surf and wind on the opposite= big waves Post by: the coppersmith on November 19, 2018, 06:55:06 PM I have surfed at Kimmeridge. I actually was in a competition at Kimmeridge one winter, strange place to get into. Slept in the pub carpark at the top of the hill?
Title: Re: surf and wind on the opposite= big waves Post by: BikerGran on November 19, 2018, 07:01:38 PM Interesting!
Not sure about the pub car park - maybe you mean the cafe car park? How long ago was that? I can't recall ever hearing about a competition at Kimmeridge so I reckon it must have been before Lucy took up paddleboarding and paddlesurfing (and all the other varieties of paddling without a canoe!)

Title: Re: surf and wind on the opposite= big waves Post by: the coppersmith on November 20, 2018, 07:32:34 PM My son says it was the Greyhound pub, arranged with the organiser, free as long as we ate there
Title: Re: surf and wind on the opposite= big waves Post by: BikerGran on November 20, 2018, 08:12:13 PM That's in Corfe Castle. We usually go to the Bankes Arms across the road.
Title: Re: surf and wind on the opposite= big waves Post by: JayJay on November 22, 2018, 08:16:18 PM That big wave photo is stunning. It must be so exhilarating to surf, especially a wave that big. I just like watch. They used to show more surfing programmes on the TV but not so much now, unless I'm looking at the wrong channels. ???
Title: Re: surf and wind on the opposite= big waves Post by: phunkie hiboy on November 28, 2018, 01:09:29 PM good day for a surf Rather go and have a beer in the Pilchard. Title: Re: surf and wind on the opposite= big waves Post by: the coppersmith on November 28, 2018, 02:49:01 PM the people who have bought the island is trying to shut the Pilchard, luxury holiday retreat stuff. We locals are trying to kick up about it, but money talks.
Title: Re: surf and wind on the opposite= big waves Post by: phunkie hiboy on November 29, 2018, 07:15:11 AM I stayed there in the early '90s when Tony Porter owned it.
Title: Re: surf and wind on the opposite= big waves Post by: the coppersmith on December 07, 2018, 04:18:19 PM Big cold wave over the rocks today, not me, I took the piccie ;D
Title: Re: surf and wind on the opposite= big waves Post by: Manky Monkey on December 07, 2018, 04:47:26 PM Crazy people! You're mad enough just standing out there in the cold taking the photo, let alone venturing out into the water.
