it was wild, you could certainly hear the waves approaching too, good on you for giving The Lost Shore a go in these conditions right now!

@@SurfersoftheNorthSea Will definitely go back but will try a lower level. Plus The Scotland Youth Surf team had also booked the same session so was embarassing myself even futher. TBH Much prefer being out in the sea. The sea is way more calming on the soul, to be in it or to be just observing it. Love your videos mate. Keep it up

aww man that was bad timing, glad you'll give it another go. With regard to the sea, couldn't have put that better myself, it gives so much peace to so many of us.

: ) haha, thank you - got to say the conditions at the moment are a proper try out!

Thank you and thank you for following, they are addictive to watch!

Taking all the chances our coastline will offer up, turning cold beachside for filming you all now though : 0

Agreed, there was just a small window of opportunity with the incoming tide, but worth the effort!

definitely!

Hi Emi! Yeah, it came good for a while when the tide came in, hope you are getting some decent conditions ?

@SurfersoftheNorthSea just got back dry from the west coast. wave a little ruined by the wind and above all too cold 🥶 😅

Totally agree - it really has been cold hasn't it, even in your lovely waters too!

@@SurfersoftheNorthSea we are not used to the cold here😆

hahaha : )

Hello there! This is what I love about the hobby, glad you appreciate the efforts! Haha, I have been known to be whisked away for filming now and again for another youtuber! To be fair, I like to try to get as many folks in one shoot as I can - I was over at 'N E South' today so there will be more uploads to follow .....no need to pay me!

thanks for the support! Ah sorry, I code all locations for the benefit of the locals but trying to get to new locations and expand my patch a bit.

it was a lovely surprise today for sure!

It was quite a search this day, conditions varied across the region. Going to get a bit rough in the next few days!

@@SurfersoftheNorthSea Right on !! I gotta come visit Holland to surf.. looks great.. maybe for the spring swells.

Good to plan ahead and try new locations!

heading into the wild season now!

@@SurfersoftheNorthSea Yep swell starting to move in nicely

Yeah, running out of options in the music library! Sometimes I pick something just based on how I felt on the day, which was with a little concern seeing some of the impacts of those waves and feeling really shaky and generally cold.

Appreciated! Yeah the cold really got to me that afternoon and I was a fair distance away due to the really high tides, I am looking at buying a monopod as it happens as they will be easier for me to carry while moving around locations.

You should check into the drones, they're under $500 and they're easy to fly. Keep up the good work

to be honest ya doin great if you only started last year and are getting out back in conditions like this. people struggle in the whitewater for years. yea its nasty when the wetsuit flushes icey water..is it hooded?..if its a front zip pull that shoulder chord tight to help against it flushing so much..

@@middleagedshred Yeah it's hooded and indeed i forgot to pull the cord lol... Thanks for the kind words.. I went into 10ft waves in France last year and took one of those... but then i got scared. I couldn't yet make a bottom turn so i surfed straight to the beach. lol. I used to skate for years when younger and that helps a lot... like balance is totally no issue.

@@alainvosselman9960 yea man..if ya have a good popup thats the hardest part of the start of your surfing career..just angle the takeoff and fly down the line

​@@middleagedshred Pop up was indeed very hard... after a 100 nose dives i got it ! lol. About a week or two i managed to get the board to turn and popped my first bottom turn after 1 attempt... which felt gooooooooooooood ! It was a bit weird to experience the difference of turning a skateboard or a surfboard.. so next step is making speed i guess.. like weaving.. and trying out a right hand (got a goofy stance).

We do get blessed with some good days sometimes don't we, an honour to film moments like these!

hahaha, those will be pretty heavy suits I would imagine as we head into wintertime now, along with boots, gloves and hoods. A balance between keeping warm and still having enough strength left to pop up for the waves.

@ yes sir I was being a little sarcastic, but isn’t the north sea of the coldest water on the planet? I was just curious.

Yeah sorry, that went straight over my head! - I'm a woman, I don't surf but I do enjoy filming it all, this is a hobby and try to respond to comments as best I can. I'll leave it to my regular followers to reply regarding water temps.

Lool dive suits..XD They wear 5mm or 6mm hooded wetsuits boots and gloves. Surfline said the water is 11 degrees celsius but I would say its colder

@@medievalknievel It's cold but if you can manage to grab a few waves you get warm.. also getting outback is hard some days so it gets your heart pumping.

and getting colder by the day!

got to be some adrenaline rush looking down the face of those walls!

Hi, I have your latest comment on hold, if you could edit the location name out I'll post it for you, I call this area you mentioned 'north of north' if it helps as a substitute.

: ) this camerawoman needed something to steady her haha! Baltic out there but it was an epic view!

Indeed the waves were massive and shut down really heavily to be sure

sure was!

Indeed it was and I recall the same - will catch you out and about again soon, hopefully at this spot too! 😄

Poor souls looked exhausted on occasion (got to make the most of it when waves arrive on this coast) but a quick rest and they got straight back out there!

hahaha! Different breed in these parts! Enjoying the challenges!

Thank you for watching. Yeah, I stay well away from the water myself. I can confirm the air temperature was surprisingly mild for the time of year, but I can be spotted wearing gloves in summer! Hopefully someone will comment on what the water temps were. My guess would be Baltic most of the time haha!

@@SurfersoftheNorthSea

Here in the UK and for the North Sea - I don't think these were too bad to be honest!

Thanks Emi, some lucky timing at this spot, I enjoyed the filming session!

Yeah, not sure what happened to me this day, I often lean into fences and walls and that normally helps steady things, not used a tripod (except on one outing with Middleagedshred) but I am considering a monopod at some point soon ! Your material is great quality - windy days are troublesome!

wasn't bad at all Emi - now you're asking a good question! I can't remember exactly but a few spots were looking good when I was trying to choose one, so in general, straight from the east seems right this day.

@@SurfersoftheNorthSea ok thanks Helen the question is very interesting.. what is the prevailing swell on the east coast

it varies, but the best swells would come from a north easterly direction I believe and in winter months but I am no expert on the topic, I just watch it all as it arrives !

Yes indeed! Loved the control on these!

@@nottherealmccoy4955 ciao Martin!!

Yes, this one is in the North East of England - though I do travel around on occasion to film other parts of the UK

Thanks Martin, yeah digging into the archives, wanting to give everyone something for the weekend as no waves to ride here for a while. Yes, this was an incredible day, they got some good rides but it took nerves of steel! Yeah, I tried to find some edgy tunes to fit the footage!

Haha - absolutely, they got some pretty decent rides in didn't they!

Thanks for the support! Yes, we cherish every moment up here, we sometimes get a rare treat! Starting to get bracing for me at beach side though now for filming!

Aye, these were the most manageable waves I could see for folks via the forecasts but you never truly know until you get there! hehe. Oh no, the most frustrating type of conditions for you there - hopefully it will come together again in a day or so!

Hope you get out for a good session tomorrow, looks like things are on the up in our part of the world so I need to go out and have a lookabout today too!

Hehe - we might be having some return - hope you get out for some waves today!

Thanks Martin - it was definitely a much better summer for waves last year, but at least we are heading into the more productive chilly season over here now - bbrrrrrr !!

Yeah, unfortunate timing on my part - seemed to pick up a bit as I was leaving. Haha - go get one of those, can't have too many gadgets and angles as you surf - also a useful back up plan!

Awww thanks Martin, appreciate your support! I don't show the likes nowadays, although I can still see them myself! Think I scare some of the commenters off as I am a stickler for no naming of the spots! haha

Thank you! Appreciate this, if it wasn't for you and a couple of my other regulars, along with speaking to the surfers on the ground for verification, I would doubt myself at times for sure!

That sounds amazing - a location I have yet to get to but hope to cover the majority of our coastline one day - hope you have a cracking day out there!

Ahh, you've been scoring many days of waves recently Martin with vigour, it's been great to see this!

@@SurfersoftheNorthSea Thanks Helen - your content is pretty much on a par with my reality here - pointless me watching 10' perfect barrels when I'm trying to surf 1-2' mushy dribblers! I pickup way more tips here with you!

Really appreciate the feedback - I think a lot of our surfers feel the same way, I try to get the footage up as quick as is possible, a couple have confessed they watch my uploads to check conditions, though clearly its not quite in real time.

Thank you! I'm hoping it was a good day all over, it's tricky narrowing down the choices on the day!

turned out nicely - the North Sea has been sending us scurrying around a lot of late to find the goldilocks zone - we'll all be fit by the end of it haha

Yeah it was a struggle on the search Martin - but the third one turned out to be relatively decent, just done the uploads for it - N E South of South A!
