Latest news about The Wave in Bristol.
It's getting messy... ☹️

I finally got to have another try at the local Pump Track today.
I had hoped to improve my performance as I had been working on my compress and extend when surfing last week.
Unfortunately, even though it was overcast, it was *way* too humid and after about 10 tries and getting less far than I'd gone in the past, I had to quit ☹️
At least I'd just got the air conditioning in the car fixed, so I could cool off on the way home... 🥵
Sharing a video on my BH for feedback from my recent trip to The Mentawai. All comments, welcome, and of course Clayton Nienaber if you have time! Thank you!

Looks like The Wave at Bristol UK, has closed with immediate effect 😳 Search BBC News, for latest
Hi everyone! I’d love your advice on a board transition question.
I usually surf in the North Sea with a 7’4 Modern double wide (it has the volume of a long board..) and feel pretty good with it. Recently I bought a 7’0 Vision mysto soft top just for the Rotterdam wave pool RIF010 (due to the concrete wall), but it’s been rough: 10L less volume, shorter, way more wobbly. My wave count dropped and my confidence too.
I’m starting to wonder: Did I switch too early, before really mastering the 7’4?Or should I keep pushing with the 7’0 in wave pools and just adapt?
In the ocean I always use the 7’4 — the 7’0 was only for RIF010.Now I’ve got 10 sessions coming up at The Wave Bristol (7 intermediate, 3 advanced) and I can only bring one board.
Should I bring the 7’4 to stay confident and catch more waves? Or bring the 7’0 to “level up” in a safer environment?
Really appreciate any thoughts or similar experiences 🙏
