WELCOME TO THE CLUB

Welcome Didi, I think you’re the first middle eastern member we’ve had…could be wrong though…

Plenty of help and support here for the asking when making your boards…

Enjoy the ride and the people here…

We’ve had a couple of Italians I think. Not quite middle eastern, but same body of water. Israeli surfer. That’s very cool. Welcome aboard. Mike

…why dont we have have more S Africans or people from north Africa (like Tunisia, Morocco, etc may be because they dont use internet too much?), polynesians isles, Peru, México, Caribeans etc?

there’s probably more of a language barrier with most of those countries.

welcome didi!

Welcome. Where exactly are you? I travel to Tel Aviv/Netanya pretty regularly, possibly the 2nd week of March. Last time I was there, there was some swell and I watched a bunch of kids catching waves just inside the breakwater by the bombed out disco by my hotel.

I would love to find out more about local breaks.

i’m in israel a couple times a year. found some good surf around both tel aviv and netanya in recent years. looks like gaza would get some fun swells, too…too bad i can’t go there anymore :-\

anyhow…check THIS LINK.
