A few select entries…

“Took this photo of this Cornish point break last November. Swell and wind forecast looked perfect…and it was sunny! It was midweek so had to take a half day. Unfortunately 30+ people had the same idea. Despite the crowd it still cranked, I had some of the best waves I’ve ever had in the UK.” Photo: Mark Bracey, Truro

“I took this picture last winter in my island Fuerteventura a good day of waves. The rising sun lights up that perfect reef peak and only me and few friends to share it!” Photo: Alvaro Ródenas

“This was my first photo session of 2013 January 5th). The sand was freezing, the sun never showed up and waves were small, but it was fun.” Photo: Sylvain Guionnet

“This was shot on the last day of 2012 in french Basque Country. Random tourists added to a big winter swell offered a good show. A good way to end the year!” Photo: Thomas Lodin.

“A very good day of surf in Brittany.” Photo: Brieuc Calonnec

“Shot in August somewhere in Europe. I like it a lot because there is a strange visual impression when you stare at it: it seems like it’s moving! Riddable or not Riddable? Real wave? Which size? We don’t really care, because lines like this are enough to wake up our surfing imagination, and make us dream of the next session.” Photo: Oscar Chuberre

“2 pics that I just snapped last week on your doorstep, both taken last weeks tuesday at estagnots bank, one a bit earlier in the morning with the overcast ,the other in the arvo when it had piked up and sun was out… Enjoy.” Sure enough in France it’s most often the tide that makes that little bit of difference. Photos: Thomas Schmidt

“This is a little shot from France for your photo contest. This was during a cold perfect morning where the mist made an incredible light.” Photo: Grégoire Gyselinck.

“This is a shot taken last November at a spot that doesn’t break very often. Long lefts on Ireland’s North West Coast…. with the sun shining!” Photo: Alan Leonard.

“Lowtide at Croyde Beach, UK. Happy Locals all over the place.” Photo: Stefan Klitzsch.

“A cold day in Cornwall. Out of many closeouts there were some that opened up enough to make the barrel.” Photo: Johnny Griffiths.

“Here´s a shot I took in Italy this march. Lone rider and thunderstorm.” Cloud porn’s yet another variable that can make a surf shot. Photo: Tom Datrip

“Norway back in November” Photo: Christian McLeod

“Another day in Nusa Lembongan, the spot is overcrowded and you can feel some tensions in the water. The sets come and for just a few seconds, while the guys are underwater, there’s silence.” Photo: Blaschek Olivier

“Some local boys waiting for their window at the Oakley ASP world junior championships in Bali.” Photo: Uta Schütte

“June 2012, towards the end of the afternoon but the sun was still trying to find his way through the clouds. A beautiful scenery from the break of Mawi, Lombok, Indonesia. Heaven is on earth, so let’s preserve it.” Photo: Othman Rechiche

“Both coasts were firing this day, I headed down to Porthleven to find Joe Skinner pulling into this backlit keg.” Photo: Johnny Griffiths.

“Virgin wave in South Sumatra, one of many. This one was taken on a rainy afternoon, October 10th. The late season offers peaks to be shared with just your friends. What else ?” Photo: Thomas Riviere

“Balangan Beach. I was chilling in the sun watching a dad teach his 4-year-old daughter her first surf skills.” Photo: Michel Sauer

“The first proper swell of the season at Ulu’s and not many out. I just got back.” Photo: Matt Cardinal.

“Bud Bud, Vendée, west coast of France. March 9th was a beautiful day with sun and perfect waves, one of those days you dream of…” Photo: Michael Nee

“This was August 26th last summer at La Grav. I was staying and working in Moliets, had seen the forecast so drove down to Hossegor early that morning to find a pretty good swell. I then returned later that afternoon to find it absolutely firing, with the mass crowd stood on the shore line watching a handful of guys tackle the waves.” Photo: Tim Borrow

Pablo Cabrera emailed today to ask if iPhone snaps are permitted. The answer is yep. “From la Graciosa island, this day the winds where strong NE and we went to check the famous El Corral. It was horrrible cross shore. We decided to walk a bit and got to this slab. It was just the 4 of us. I was the first one out (that’s me avoiding sea urchins!) Meanwhile my friends decided to get naked and tan their willies a while… that is until they saw me catch my first wave at which point they were out there!” Hang on one sec, if you’re the one on the rocks Pablo who’s taking this photo?

Chris Simpson explains why there’s no place like home. “This photo was from one of the best swells we’ve had up on the north east [of the UK] in a while. Taken last October early morning after driving through the night from Thurso following a week of flatness up in Scotland. We should have stayed at home all along. Pretty sure this is Gabe Davies in there, who quiet frankly rules this spot.” Photo: Chris Simpson.

Benjamin Fabre’s trip to Fiji just happened to coincide with last year’s Volcom Pro Fiji. “I spent a few days watching the pros’ training and surfing one of the best waves in the world. It was just amazing! Certainly the best trip of my life.” Kelly Slater, Cloudbreak. Photo: Benjamin Fabre.

One from close to the SE office, Swiss student Tobias Heggstein snapped this pic of les Bourdaines in Seignosse doing its thing last summer. “That trip was classic.” reckoned Tobias, “waves pumped almost every day we couldn’t believe our luck…” Photo: Tobias Heggstein

Big waves and big swell get a lot of the attention for their visual impact, as well as general ‘holy shit’ness. Basque Country surfer Javier Basurco shot this empty, moody Playa Gris bomb early in winter 12/13. Photo: Javier Basurco

When it’s cold out as it has been this winter with more snow than the UK has seen in a long ass while, life is better in a Patagonia wetsuit. Boy does the woollen inner lining keep you nice and toasty when you need it, and in the disposable world of today they do a fine job on a durable level too. Better still, we have one of their trusty R3s to give-away and a front zip model at that  (coz nobody rocks back zips anymore do they?).
