Surf's up and everybody's going board crazy as Devon's long relationship with surfing continues to go from strength to strength.
Not since the early 80s, when the county boasted its own English and British
champions, has the sport attracted such large numbers eager to ride the waves
which pound the county's beaches.
With a coastline as diverse as its landscape, Devon has waves to suit all
abilities.
Croyde Bay, on the north coast, is one of the main draws courtesy of its
hollow powerful low tide waves which on their day produce beachbreak waves
as good as anywhere in the world. Winds from an easterly direction are offshore.
Situated just a few miles from Barnstaple, and with a rich surfing history stretching back over forty years, Croyde has spawned some of the sports top competitors.
With North Devon bearing the brunt of atlantic swells, the area boasts several other top surfing locations.
Travel north from Croyde and you are faced by the sweeping sands of Woolacombe Bay. Nestled in its southern corner is Puttsborough.
