i regularly surf rest bay mid week, were from gloucester and rest is one of out nearest surf spots, longboarding isnt just for the old. im 20 and love long boarding, i have ridden shortboards in the past and love both styles of surfing. I have a lot of respect fro the locals here, very friendly and good vibes everytime we go here. can get very very good on the right swell, just the chavs in their cars in the car park in the evening are a bit fo a problem, other than that the surf is great

Stop moaning
When I go to Rest Bay I imagine that everyone else is there to enjoy the sea and the waves, to live and let live and do their own thing. But no! Some petty people are busy looking around and getting upset about what other people are surfing on. The sea is not under anyones ownership (yet).When I m on my horse or in the sea I feel peace and joy - if its making you so moany, do something else. My comment about Rest Bay is that its womderful that its not been regulated and controlled like some of the beaches in Cornwall; its beautiful and relatively natural

longboaders
What really gets to me about longboarders is the fact they have no notion of the line up. They take everything from the outside and don’t give a sh** about anyone else. They take wave after wave and even and even when they drag their sad old bodies onto the baord all they do is stand there. You see some amazing guys on longboaders doing really cool stuff, but it's also a licence for every overweight fatty to get out back when they should be at home looking after the kids and stuffing their faces with pizza. Loose some weight, get fit and get a short board fatty, or learn to surf that big board of yours properly and give some room to other surfers. Either that or use your titanic weight and inflexible style to run down the goatboaters, thereby doing us all a favour.
