So get in there and ordr your donar and you will be able to witness the fitness!!

Hurricane Only - I live at Greatstone, the only time that you will find a wave big enough to surf is in a NE wind that is so strong that you cant stand up. TIP park on the sea front and wait till the wind is smashing the seagulls on the bungalows then grab your board and if the flying sand hasn't erroded your suit,try and get a wave! Seriously though< i'm a lifeboatman and If its too rough for us to launch, then I'll get my body board out and maybe drop a knee but stand up surfing? TEE HEE!!!! P.S. For the authentic Greatstone surfing feelin, lay on your board in a working sandblasting cabinet and let off a foam fire extinguisher in your face.
