The Wave

Surfing a Secret Spot, Bristol (Part 2)
I don't know why I felt nervous, the wave looked totally manageable, certainly nothing to worry about compared to what I surf at home. But something about the unfamiliar surroundings and the element of the unknown just put me slightly on edge. Additionally you perhaps lose the sense of anonymity you get with being in the vastness of the Atlantic. You feel like all eyes will be on you when it's your turn, which is generally not really the case. Everyone is just doing their own thing and worrying about their own rides.

Surfing a Secret Spot, Bristol (Part 1)
Chez and I, along with six friends, checked our wallets, piggy banks and down-the-back-of-the-sofa savings to contribute a combined £700 to the Crowdfunder, which secured us early access to The Wave before it opened to the public. We knew it was going to be a long wait, but waiting for good waves comes with the territory when you're a UK surfer, right?!
