SHARKS - yes there are sharks at tynemouth. there is a water outlet up the tyne near shields that pumps out warm water. this sometimes attracts sharks to the area. Same used to apply at blyth when the power station was there.

crowds................. - This says there are no crowds at Longsands, tynemouth!
Give me a break! at the weekend it's man soup, full of fuc*in millions of longboarders sitting out back and takin all the decent waves. Also gets crowded during the week, especally during the summer. Go else where if you can be bothered, unless you like crowds and poor surf!

point surfer - tynemouth is ok somedays shit the otherdays hardly ever holds up in size but tynemouth point is a diffrent place all together its one of the fastest drops ive ever takin and once your on it its time to kick out or you will get slammed by the next wave but piece of advise dont paddle out on and longboard unless your decent. defenatly not a place to miss

Longboarders - Longboarders sit way out back catching all the waves at tynemouth, its generally a shit break anyway with the peaks moving about all over the place. Leave this crap break for the longboarders and their big beer guts
