A few pro surfers were over earlier this year doing an article for SurfSession, a French Magazine and scored some good waves on Gozo.
If anybody would like to see the article I could send them a PDF.
Glad to see a few more surfers appearing on the islands, I have surfed there quite a few times over the last 10 years and only ever surfed with another person on one occasion.

Attention all surfers in Malta
Hi, my name is Kim and together with Jay we are trying to get surfing more mainstream in Malta. Currently there are only a few of us picking off the waves here which is a pity because sometimes (only sometimes) we get good sets off NE, NW and SE swells in beach and reef breaks.
So if you're in Malta or coming to Malta then either e-mail me kim_wright@inbox.com or text me on +356 9948 7417.
Look forward to meeting you all :-)
