Europe’s biggest surf population ride the surprisingly good beach, reef and point breaks of a long coastline battered by both Atlantic and North Sea breakers. Even the English Channel gets surfed by a dedicated crew that is growing every year.

When the low pressure systems bomb through and the reefs are way overhead, there is little doubt that England is a hard-core place to surf.
