How we found this spot I'll never know. We'd traveled down from Lynton through the stunning forests and rolling hills of Exmoor National Park. The van wasn't feeling 100% as we pulled up the steep dirt road leading to the farmhouse. I actually stalled the van on a steep section and then it would not start. Rolled backwards out of the farm driveway and then jumped it down the narrow road in the center of the village. Always a good way to announce your arrival! Once parked up in the fallow fields the farmer lets people camp on during the summer I grabbed my twinny and started walking down to the coast to see what was out front. Through a couple of fields, down a dirt path and just to the south there was a nice A-frame reef set up with just couple of guys out. Perfect fun Twinny surf.... First surf in the UK. Sunny, warm, uncrowded and feeling more like central coast of California than anything else.

Awhile back I lifted an old board Greg Mungall had lying around in his glass shop. It was a 1982 6'2" Twinny called "Hooks, Wings and Things." The surf had been small so I figured I'd clean the dust off and get the old beater wet to see how she went. I ended up surfing the board in one foot HB, 6'-8' Newport Point and everything in between. Thus began my love affair with Twin Fins.
