Montezuma your Lucky to live in an area with so much varied surf and nice weather mmm,
I've never been to usa surfing but some mates did a road surf trip along the coast, said the people were amazing, loads of guys giving them waves at trestles and just being cool.
its good here at the moment, good waves and the waters just warming up so back its to 3-2mm suits with no boots or gloves

We can wear summer suits until november when the sea cools down again then its back to 5mm winter suits, Brrr chilly

Its weird, when I've been surfing abroad people always seem to assume that we dont get surf in england, I mean we are an island next to an ocean.
My home break is Bantham in South Devon which is beautiful but since moving away I surf here most the time:
