I’m adding all the waves to a specific page on Glissers - Best Longboard Waves in the World, which I think will be very useful for longboarders like myself. It’s not finished yet - so far only 2 listings - but will keep on adding as they come in.

I also have a secret plan to visit them all, of course…

But then we realized that the forecast is for snow (!) and that the traffic would make the journey time close to 10 hours. One way…

So instead we’re now heading to Lanzarote for 3-4 days of windsurfing, surfing, tennis, tapas, wine, and book reading.

Nice!

But I think I’ve found an alternative - stand up paddle surf. Since you don’t have to paddle lying down, I think this solution might be easier on the back. Another good thing is that you don’t need very impressive swells to do this, which means that Brighton might actually become a real surfing destination…

I’ve had articles written in a few publications, such as SurfersVillage, and people from all over the place adding their home to the site. I’m not surprised that surfers from Biarritz or New Zealand like the idea, but more interesting is the guys from for example Amsterdam and Israel (!).

I can see a few interesting trips coming up over the next year…

Now it’s done. There’s no homes there to swap yet, except my own, but I’m working on it.
