Oi Oi!

Welcome to Tube Riding. A diary about surfing life in London. Living a mere 80 miles from the nearest surf spot, and that is the flow house in Bedford may seem like a disadvantage but being a surfer in London has its advantages.

Condom Head. Preparing for a winter session. East Wittering Feb 2012.

Admittedly there isn't much chance of a pre/post work session unless the Thames starts to fire for the first time since the introduction of the Thames Barrier, however with the south coast a couple of hours away, South Wales 3 hours, The east cost a couple of hours away away and Devon 4 1/2 hours away the options are certainly numerous. Throw in to the equation that with London Heathrow, London Gatwick, London Luton (not in London) and London Stanstead (Not even near London) around getting to quality surf from London isn't difficult, if a little expensive.  

Maroc and Roll. Riding a Moroccan Wave, Taghazout Sept 2011. 

So this blog will be all about  the adventures, trips, piss ups and the general trials and tribulations of life trying to swap one tube for another.

Enjoy.
