Waves on Google Earth

[Schizo]

found this one on the Falklands - its gonna have to be the most unsurfed wave anywhere - there's amazing beach breaks all round the airport at stanley - may have to find a flight

[surfingdream]

schizo my old man lived in falklands after the conflict and says there are waves but some are 3 or 4 days of driving and a days walk just to get there lol. and there are a bunch of locals there mainly spongers but pm me if u want to go ur talking well over 2k for a flight and i still dont theres much accomodation if any, good thing is u dont need a driving licence or a car for that matter jst borrow one of the locals there dead cool.

[Schizo]

just had a look around - i would certainly make a trip to tell your kids about Brize Norton are about 900 each way but theres a chilian company that says it does it from london to falklands for 900 return but i cant find the actual flights - accomadation could be a tent just outside the airfield

[pongo]

Unless you're in the forces and then you can get indulgence flights for about £15 each way. Fuck going down there though it is very cold and full of RAF arse bandits

I read report a few years ago in the RAF's surf magazine and it sounded very good, apart from the minefields. The ascensions also looks none too shabby and also a cheap indulgence flight away.

[tootes]

my old man was there just after the conflict too. He was an RAF arse bandit though
We nearly went to live for 9 months there as a family, bit gutted that didn't happen.

Not quite workign but you see the potential. On the rigth direction and witha bit of luck it links up from outside the point right down to the pier. Some reckon this can get longer than Chicama. Didnt have it longer than 200m when i was there but the size and power was ridiculous off the swell we were getting.

looks like there is another point just up the coast.

Most out there beachie?

Majorly remote sub-antarctic island!

[danny1]

haha love it

[Mirky_Splatt]

good god.

[shackattack2]

^^^^^^Is that the French southern and Anartctic lands? That place looks nails!

[Tombo]

Its the Heard and McDonald Islands. A territory of Australia apparently. The South and South Eastern Coasts look like they get hit with big swells. One hell of a boast trip to get there though!

[shackattack2]

This spot has potential....gonna move here with a collection of boards and live happily ever after with the women of me dreams

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=roti+island&sll=-10.558022,123.156738&sspn=1.196121,2.801514&ie=UTF8&ll=-10.332483,120.113096&spn=0.018703,0.043774&t=h&z=15

Don't think there'l be much to eat though

[[REZ]]

Too late Shack Attack - its very much populated!

[shackattack2]

My dreams are shattered

Yeah I just spotted the huts in the north of the island

[shackattack2]

How about this for a set up.........

Anyone surfed here?

[Poo Stance]

^^^ Somethings telling me you want to go to Indo.

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&sourc ... 6&t=h&z=17

and a nice wee piccy...

[shackattack2]

I am going to Indo! just doing my research

[Poo Stance]

Surfing the lake district?

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&ie= ... 6&t=h&z=17

Again, will remove if it upsets anyone. Seems to be another nice point just further north. No pics this time tho ... (yet!)

[tootes]

st bees head (home of my education) is the headland further north.
On shore wind 365 days a year, windiest place I have ever lived - crazy crazy wind,

Slop surfer is your local in the know. Very occasional surf.

i spent 4 weeks here, wouldnt exactly say its a new dicovery, and it definitely has potential and theres plenty to eat if you like rice fish veg and fruit, not much else though

[Poo Stance]

G-Land muthafuggers!!

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&sourc ... 3&t=h&z=15

Why's no one out?

Anyone want to lend me some stoke? Feels like a lifetime since I got some waves.

[AGriff]

How do I make a map of my patrol route using google earth? I drive a patrol route for a private security company and have about thirty apartment buildings and business I check nightly. I want to use Google Earth to make a map of all my accounts. I just don't know how to to do it. Is there a way to make a new layer and add the addresses or what? I'm just not very competent with the program and could use some advice on the most efficient way to do this.

we do an xml export of some sort to goodle earth and it drops all our customers in and also flags if they have a visit by way of coloured pins. The file created is a kml file. I am sure you could then between them. Ben could probably create an export from MSW and drop dark stars onto google earth

Below is our xml/kml for two test companies - you probably need simpler than this. - I have cut and pasted it out of notepad.

I'm gonna stick my neck out and say I'm 99% sure these places are unsurfed. Bit of potential on the 1st one.

[Ferral]
