goin 2 newquay on sunday, cn u suggest any gd locations? (not 2 big waves as I am used to the puny ones in bournemouth)

fistrals good but i dont really go there im a big fan of polzeath beach as soon as i can drive i'll find my own spots as well

Cool, cheers mate

Good to see some new members here... The body-boarding section seems to be getting quite busy these days.

Welcome to Forces-of-Nature!

Hope you have a good time in Cornwall.

Al.

yeh should be good surf soon down here august - september is meant to be best from what ive heard

Cool, thanks for that Al. I'm pretty new to bodyboarding as well, considering that in Bournemouth the waves are never huge, although I've had my Manta for about 3 years, I can't get down to the beach all that easily with it and the waves are always rubbish. Ah well, I'm hoping to learn a little in Cornwall. Maybe visit Rob Barbers school - have you been there?

nope ive only went to one surf school in polzeath thats my favourite beach but if you want the best waves in cornwall i suggest you go nroth coast from now till september there quite big its quite good in the winter as well i like the rough waves 6ft if your lucky in the winter

Thats pretty high . . . are there many shops to buy fins and stuff in cornwall - cos I don't have any fins at the moment (you dnt rly need them in b-mouth) but Im hopefully getting some today - whats the most I should spend as a beginner and what do you think are the best make?

there are loads where about are you going to stay?

Leedstown, but the closest 'beachy' town is St Ives. Where abouts are you?

um you've probably never heard of it its a very small town called camelford google it it comes up its the one with the green clock tower




its a very weird place heh

only trouble is we have to drive to get anywhere but the good thing is were only like 5 miles from the coast.

So yeh i suggest you go to fistral then go to polzeath just to see the difference

Thanks a lot! Wont be posting for 2 weeks now bye!

ok cool and good waves!

I worked at Polzeath one year and had some epic days surfing there. It's just as good as Fistral but not quite as crowded... It still gets too busy for my liking though.

Al.

where abouts did you work?

On the beach... as a lifeguard.

Al.

ah ok cool
