Malibu boys are all-the-year round surfers

Surfing season has no end

Cutting winter winds sweep across the beach at Westward Ho! and the sea is icy – but across the sand any weekend when the surf is up the black-clad figures of surfers can be seen hurtling beachwards on the walls of the Atlantic rollers. These are the Malibu boys.

For the Malibou enthusiasts the surfing season has no end – the arrival of winter only means the arrival of the bigger surf with better and more exciting rides.
