I know there has been a few and I've read through them but wanted to ask a couple of questions:
– How much for a half decent wetsuit for autumn/winter?
– Where is good for a long weekend in say late oct?
Up until now I've been a sponger/boogie boarder/body boarder whatever you want to call it. Family hols in france left me with a pretty good bodyboard which kept me going for the odd good days in bournemouth at uni. But thinking about getting a stand-up for bi-yearly trips.
Not sure where to start but the wetsuit is dying and thats the most important thing. I've got a 20yr old 5mm I think that could literally be falling apart and want to get something up to date. Have a shorty for summer and france but where do I look and what would be ideal for autumn storms in the uk? cornwall/south wales. 2nd hand probably
And I've been out the water for 4 years and missing one of the best feelings of my life – catching a decent wave. love it. So where should I head for my fix this autumn? Live in cheltenham so either S / SE Wales or cornwall is ideal. Somewhere with decent beginners surf (max i've been out in is 5-6ft?) and decent mountain biking if the weather falls through?
Will take bodyboard and hire a stand-up from somewhere.
Dunno about where to sleep mind you. Campsites all closed now? possible to sleep in the back of my estate somewhere?
you may have guessed from the wetsuit "2nd hand probably" and the "sleep in the back of my estate somewhere" money isn't growing on tree's here yet but £100 on a wetsuit is manageable and double on a board? or can I settle for lower?
