Larry of AUS... - Don't be fooled... the real surf on Finland is on the north shore in the Arctic Circle. Before you laugh some more, see the new issue of Surfer's Journal... the waves there resemble a cold water Indo.

Hot Spots - No surfer in their right mind would disclose to an outsider where the breakers are and when they are at their peak. Go to Hawaii or the Maldives, Frenchie.
