They say that you get the best waves abroad but you get your best sessions at home. This is a chronicle of two reef breaks in Cornwall - Porthleven and the Cribbar - during Autumn and Winter. They're quite fickle, and some might say quite cold, but for me the novelty of riding good waves alone or with just one or two friends will never get old.

Thank you to Mike 'Tubeway Army' Newman for ALL of the kiting footage and the Levvy Beach shot and 'Warning Sign' shot.

Ian Edmondson for the cover photo.

Jason Feast grabbed the Cribbar paddle in shots. All the other bits I filmed on a Nokia 8210 pay-as-you-go from Lidl, just goes to show doesn't it..
