I think it is safe to say that the battle of the boot is well and truly over!

With the Westward Ho! sea temperature now at a tropical 14 degrees, and still climbing, this familiar struggle any cold water surfing fanatic must go though is now a thing of the past!

There is no easy way to get your foot into a wetsuit boot. Everyone has their preferred method from plastic bags to brute force. This is young surfer Issac came for surfing lessons with me a few weeks ago and is using the 'lay on my back and get mum to put my boot on' technique. A classic!

Today I picked up a delivery of this seasons new boards (Grizzly’s) and wetsuits (ADV wetsuits) from Tiki. 

The Tiki 'Grizzly' surf boards vary in size from 7ft to 8'6ft and are fibreglass and epoxy boards wrapped with a forgiving foam outer layer, giving you the performance of a hard board with the safety of a soft board

 The ADV wetsuits combines comfort and stretch in the top half, for freedom of movement, and 4 mm of neoprene on the body and legs provide the warmth you need to surf for hours.

A good day spent in the sunshine assembling all the kit.
