It’s been a good start to winter down here in Britain’s south-west corner.

Characterised, as ever, by consistently surfable waves, with brief moments of brilliance. The key to maximising water time has been a healthy knowledge of all the coastline’s twists and turns, a willingness to drive to whichever bend suits the given conditions best and having a variety of different boards at your disposal, to make the best of whatever you find.

For the above, local longboarders Adam ‘Bearman’ Griffiths and Ben Skinner have been ticking all the boxes as well as anyone. Here’s a short edit form Hobo Surf Media, featuring a few of their more fruitful sessions around the coast so far this winter:
