Apologies the journal hasn't come. Infact, it's unlikely it will now as it's all proving to much of a distant memory...<br /><br />I've been surfing here in Brighton though and me and Will are planning a session at Hot Pipes tomorrow in fact! There's been a storm brewing all week and word is there's a swell coming! That is, if you can call ankle-deep slop a swell anyway!<br /><br />I've been entertaing myself with some great surf books recently. Here's a few that I thouroughly recommend you try for youselves.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Riding-Magic-Carpet-Odyssey-Perfect/dp/1840245026">Riding the Magic Carpet</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.co.uk/e/ir?t=diarofadad-21&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=2" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /><br /><br />A Surfer's Odyssey to Find the Perfect Wave - this book has it all.
