Once upon a time in Hawaii, a man called Duke Kahanamoku grabbed a 10-foot longboard and the sport of surfing hit the big time. Salt water, sun, sand and a blissfully simple existence combine in surfing to make it an addictive way of life.

    Watergate Bay

    Posted by jamason 30 May 2007

    Situated between Newquay and Padstow, this large sandy beach is a welcome escape from the tackiness of nearby Fistral.

    Watergate bay is not just a lovely spot; there are facilities to hire all sorts of equipment for fun in the sun: surfboards, wave skis, power kites etc.

    After a hard day's activity you can chill on the beach with a beer listening to surf rock.

    A popular location for the English Surf Championships and since my last visit a certain Mr Oliver has opened a restaurant there.

    A beautiful spot none the less.

    AquaSurf B&B

    Posted by surferchick 29 May 2007

    AquaSurf B&B is a cool place to stay. Designed for groups - all the rooms have bunk beds. AquaSurf B&B is clean and friendly, with rooms of two to six people.

    We had a TV/video in our room, and the breakfast each morning was fab.

    It's in a great location, with both the nightlife and the beaches within two minutes' walk.

    Surfing in Cornwall

    Posted by onefix 10 December 2006

    Most people associate Fistral, Newquay as the main surfing location in Cornwall as many of Britain’s top surfing competitions are held in Newquay (over the summer when it is normaly flat). The Cornish coast has many surf breaks from St Agnes (badlands) on the north coast to Cabbage Patch (secret spots) on the south coast.
    The most popular saying by any surfer is "you should have been here earlier" "it was goin' off".
