Well that's two more counties ticked off the list... just. It was a hell of a gamble but at the start of this week we managed to find a half decent looking wave in Essex! Now I wouldn't necessarily recommend Essex as a surfing destination, it's cold, brown and very, very fickle, but there is definitely potential there.
Whilst we were waiting for this little left to start working, we hossed up to the more reliable, but still relatively surf-starved Suffolk. Considering the short lived swells and months of flatness, this county actually has a pretty big, hardcore community of surfers who are keen as fook all through the year... unlike Essex, where apparently no-one has ever heard of surfing.
Even Gordon didn't have a clue where to suggest looking for waves south of Lowestoft when I randomly bumped into him there and tried to pick his brain... but that's what happens when you don't get in the water enough and spend all your time trying to get re-elected.
Anyway check out the full story and shots in the next Wavelength out in a couple of weeks. That's two of the trickiest counties done, so surely it will get easier from now on?
