After a long time I finally got the chance to visit the mighty Hurley Weir.
I have been looking forward to visiting this spot for ages due to so much hype surrounding it!
I am going to be honest here, it is over rated, but that is not to say it isn't a great spot but it just not the same as a spot such as the Dee where you have beautiful surroundings, not just some concrete and a metal weir gate.
The first time I was there it was a lovely green 3 which you could soul surf until your heart was content! Sadly it dropped down to 2 during the time I was there which wasn't great considering the long drive and sub zero temperatures!
Today I returned to find a high level 3 gates with a nice pile.
Thankfully it was a bit warmer and I managed to stick a few blunt and nearly stuck a donkey flip!
I look foward to returning and having some more fun next time it is up :)
With a long 3 month gap between year 11 and sixth form approaching, I am currently looking into a trip to Iceland or somewhere further afield which should be brilliant!
See you on the water,
Charles
