While we are trying to keep warm, yep, I am huddling around hot water bottles as I type this, I thought it would be good to look forward to summer in Norfolk for 2023. New designs are arriving thick and fast inspired by the Norfolk coast.

Surfers and the shapes they make are always inspirational to take photographs of. The ones with a real passion for the sport, surf all year round. Yes, I think they are crazy when the temperatures are so low, but I get how addictive this sport must be. It’s addictive enough just watching. You can see how patient and fit the surfers have to be.

I would love to have a go, but would I have the strength and stamina? Hmm I’m not so sure!

While we don’t have giant rollers here in Norfolk, like in Cornwall or Hawaii, we do have decent enough waves for the local surfers to enjoy. Cromer is a favourite spot, next to the iconic Cromer pier. It’s great to watch the surf school there, tutoring the newbies. It’s fun to watch their progress.

Gorleston, Mundesley and East and West Runton are apparently also good spots to surf. From my investigations there are more secret locations, I will have to sniff them out. I have seen surfers at Happisburgh before, but that is a rare sighting. Scatby, Sea Palling, Trimingham, Mundesley and Hemsby are also good places to go. The site Norfolk Surfing Beaches is well worth a look to find your ideal location to test the waves.

The items you see here are just a snippet of my full collection of Norfolk surfer designs over at Redbubble. Choose from clothing, hats, tech and pet accessories, mugs, bags: duffle, drawstring, tote, stationery and prints. Designed in Norfolk, delivery worldwide.

Norfolk surfing hotspots covered in the collection include: Cromer, East Runton, Great Yarmouth, Gorleston, Mundesley, Scratby and Sheringham, with more on the way. Get surfing in style!
