First tidy swell autumn 09

The first decent swell this autumn brought the South Gower reefs alive breaking along the coast from 3ft to 6ft+ on some of the more exposed headlands. I got up early and went on a mission with Jon Lewin and Ben Wyeth two fellow surf shooters. Checking a few spots at the back of HW it was decided to hit one of the famous "Three". Rumours of a rammed Crab Island with a host of longboarders straying from Saga Point and a classic session at Fall Wedge and plenty of more confirmed hits at other spots it was a good day for surfers on the Gower. With a tidy line up with Lloyd, Frenchie, Jacket, Bentos, The Cat, Johnny Davies, Neil Parry, Steve Bevan, Mark Gear, Jack Cotteril, Simon Biccles, Tim Thomas, Julian Poffley, Tom John, Beth Mason, Yonit Kittay to name a few, split between two reefs, with Will Begg and Kook on the next reef over.
