South Coast - Brighton surf

   
Surfing Brighton in the 70's

This is surf at the east arm of the marina 1975. The year it was first ridden by just a handful of locals, some from Palace Pier and like myself some from West Pier. They had only built the two arms and had started on the main basin, hence the cranes!!

Great stuff sent in by Steve

The Hot Pipe dropping off after some nice waves as you can see there was not much left when I turned up but was told it had been sweet about 2 hours before!!
