Another story could be told...
One starting with FFS!
But it would be bad mannered and futile, while also exhibiting the lack of an alternative activity that should be wisely in place as a surfer in the U.K.
Surfing in this country means being patient and rehearsed in the acceptance of mediocre conditions. This is not a complaint; just an acknowledgement of where we are and embracing the necessary approach to remain keen despite the hurdles.
Keen in cruddy winds; side, cross and onshore. NE, N, NW, W, SW...getting better...SSW, S, etc. Howling, screaming and freezing. Crowds, parking and the growing number of charlatans who have infiltrated the line-up.
But NO! This is not a complaint; just an acknowledgement of where we are and embracing the necessary approach to remain keen.
And being keen, allied with a love of the sea, is the required push needed to keep on getting in. This is the only way to stay ready for the sought after good days.
So every morning a quick assessment is made. On this morning the data was crunched and the camera was picked up, not the board. That can be done easily.
I love the morning light at this time of year.
The cloudless sky let the early morning sunshine get everywhere until halted by shadow. Fleeting compositions created as the sun moved along the day's path.
