    Various ride reports

    It appears that you travel a fair but, but how on earth do you average 2-3 surfs a week living in Germany?!

    DHD MF Eclipse

    The premium for a Pyzel branded board compared to a local shaper is not that much. You have a better chance of selling/trading a big brand board if needed (still expect heavy depreciation though). Lots of UK surfers are relatively high income adult learners. Everything is expensive in the UK...

    Catch Surf Opinion

    A softboard isn't going to make surfing shitty waves fun. For marginal days, I would echo the above, stubby quads have always worked well for me in English beachbreak/junk. Lots of good options in the SW from the bigger factories and one man bands. The key to surfing in the UK is to basically...
