Description:
The waves were god today but it looks like everyone else i south wales heard so also!!! But no seriously it was quite good but very busy. Also the waves were breaking pretty late and i had my new 6' 6" board!!!! Shorter than usual. Ihave to say that i was pretty etiquett-wise. I hadn't caught barely anything and a beautifull wave came by, and some one was going for it aswell as me, and he was closest to the break. Anyway afterwards i explained to him and he said he was cool with it, because the last thing i wanted to do was offend him so i apologized, and too right to!!! It got extremley busy and with such a small beach i had to leave pretty soon!

The waves today were decent but we only rented one booard so one person could film but we also had a third camera man onshore which we mostly used footage of. I didn't catch much today because it was busy but i did catch an amazing one but I SLIPPED!!!! But it's not all bad news because after i slipped i was lying on my back... the wrong way around!!! I was completely accidentaly surfing backwards. t hurt but it was fun.

Description:
Today it was me my two bros and my mom. The waves were mushy, soupy big and powerful. You could catch them at knee high and still ride 'em in. I had to stick with my mom coz she didn't trust me to go with my brothers to ride the big'uns, but after a while my mum couldn't be bothered to stay in the water so she got out and i started gettin absoloutley SMASHED, these were so powerful and were breaking so far out, you couldn't get behind them to where they break. I did a few times, but then i'd ride one in and have to start all over again. Not good. So i jut went for nice nicer looking mushy ones slightly further in. Today was quite good in terms of how busy it was. There were lots of people in the water, which meant lots of jumping off in case you hit someone. fun!!! But after a while most of the people in the water like swimmers and bodyboarders just gave up because the water was just to mushy and it was hitting them in the face and all parts!!! But the surfers in the water were loving ing it because they were just playing about in the whitewash.

Description:
Today was beautiful, we got there from our windy and rainy house to a beautiful pembrokeshire west coast. The waves were small but they were loveley and glassy and broke perfectly. We got in after renting some huge 9 foot boards, one bic for david (my other bro) and an nsp for me. The waves were infrequent but coming in in sets. Ther weren't many people thre but the ones that were, were rather annoying as they were all body boarders who knew nothing of surfing etiquet, and at one point, this body boaring mum put herself in a position wich meant one person would get hurt. I was padling for the perfect most beautifull wave of the day, i started padling... speeding up quicker and quicker, the wave was still to fast so it felt as it was about to wash over me so i thaught; "now or never" so got up and i slid down the wave and was speeding like never before, my balance was all over the place, with my arms flinging about the place, but when i regained my balance i was trimming. Then i spotted a body border who even though she saw me heading for her went for the wave. So i thought that some thing bad was going to happen but wasn't gonna come off such a perfect wave if there was a way around it. So i thought to turn the other direction. When i turned around there was some guy, he was good, but he was turning towards me, i didn't know what to do, i thought about falling back but there were to many people around, i couldn't do much but... anyway we got out at about 7:40 and left to go home.

Description:
Session was good. Caught quite a few, stood about 4 times i'd say. I went with my bro (Jonathan) and my mom. The waves were pretty small to start but then grew as the sets came in. I attempted to catch quite a few to start but didn't have much luck but as the waves grew i greased the hinges and started to catch some nice waves but wth the board being a funboard i would just slide off. (i wanted a 7'9" but i probably wouldn't have had much luck.) Then i started to get up and surf the waves. We got out of the water at 7:45 and headed back.

Description:
Teh waves today were pretty crab. We arrived at 6:00, me and my brother and rented some boards, two 7'9" bics. We headed in to the water but the waves were pretty small, 3' at most. They were eas to catch but when we got up on theboard they would just sink because they weren't powerful enough to hold our weight so the board would just sink. Not good. With all of the bad luck we got out pretty sharpish and headed home.
