Welcome to the crazy world of SurfNewquay (bit of a cop out on the profile though!).
Hopefully you will be able to give us updates on the surf at the East coast. I will be frequenting the place when I finally learn to surf this month (got the confirmation just this morning - 27/7/03 10am).
Keep in touch.
P.S. Just had a thought, you could be from the east coast of anywhere. Hopefully its the UK
