well almost..
Winter, at least here in the UK, is the season that separates the wheat from the chaff when it comes to paddle surfing. For most the dark nights, freezing temperatures and often challenging conditions are enough to put their ride of choice into hibernation until the weather turns but for the faithful it becomes a calculated game of studying forecasts; cross-tabulating wind direction with swell direction and then trying to find a location that will offer the best chance of sup surfing nirvana.
As many of you will have seen on the news last week the North Sea was an unruly, angry mess with storm surge warnings in place all along the East Coast courtesy of a wild storm raging to the North Sea. With large waves sending spray 75 feet skywards and 30kts of offshore wind you’d have had to have been completely loco to venture out on a SUP last Friday. Saturday was a similar story with more wind than anticipated, 3 degree temps and talk of snow making the general consensus, no thanks.
