Now's the time to improve your skills
Whether it's a new years resolution to take up a new hobby or get fit, surfing in the south west has to be one of the best ways to burn off those calories and take in the freshest of air.
If standing up isn't your thing why not try bodyboarding or even coasteering a growing adrenaline fuelled sport that takes place around the fantastic south west coastline.
With local Woolacombe girl Tabby Fox the current British female bodyboarding champion, North Devon really is a great place to take to the waves.
