So this is surfing in Britain, I told myself as I grumpily walked up a slope of wet rocks and wispy beach grass, trying to keep a foothold as rain and wind both tried their utmost to send me skidding back down to the freezing beach below. Tom Anderson has always, loved surfing-anywhere except the UK. But a chance encounter leads him to a series of adventures on home surf As he visits the popular haunts and secret gems of British surfing he meets the Christians who pray for waves (and get them), loses a competition to a non-existent surfer, is nearly drowned in the River Severn and has watery encounter with a pedigree sheep. All this rekindles his love affair with the freezing fun that is surfing the North Atlantic. AUTHOR: Tom Anderson is the author of popular and acclaimed surfing travelogues Riding the Magic Carpet and Chasing Dean. He is a successful competitive surfer and writes regularly for several surfing magazines, as well as being senior committee member of the Welsh Surfing Federation. *
