I think my little shaping room is the most inland in all the uk, My Landlocked Boards are atleast two hours from the coast and thats not nessacailly to the surf.Who is the most land locked surfer/shaper in the world. Where they live ,not ,where they're traveling through (must own there own board)
Lopez and Loehr come to mind.
Bing Copeland?
Is Bing actually shaping anymore?
SammyA,I Don't think so. Only for ceremony these days. I'd heard he resides in Idaho and is still skiing. But,Once one...Always one?
Howzit fish, We have 1 member who lives in Colorado and DrStrange lives a few miles more east than Greg and I bet we have some body in nowhere's land for sure. Aloha,Kokua
here, here!
nearest surf from the city is at least 4 hours away, unpredictably crappy too. so i put up with sleepover bus trips, leaving the city at midnight heading further north, arriving shortly after sunrise for more or less better surf conditions, with more choices of boards to rent, places to stay and (more affordable) food to eat. life is short, i’m grateful enough to appreciate what i can get hehe " )
cheers
surfiber that would be so nice if I only had to drive four hours 
Nearest sea is a 7,5 hours car drive… and that’s the “famous” german north coast where getting a good swell is very hard for a non local guy. That’s over 800 km.
The best reachable spot is Hossegor in France, but 1500 km and about 16 hours to drive.
If it’s only about the sea I’m in this competition, only my local river is a 10 minute ride by bike 
howdy parick,
that makes me appreciate what i can get even more " ) we’ll see how i’ll fare once i start building boards for other landlocked surfers where i live hehe
cheers,
Here in NZ one would be hard pressed to live more than two and a half hours to three hours from any coast, Maybe Queenstown and Taupo, both with large lakes would be the prime examples. When I was young and lived in Hamilton, before understanding weather maps and surf reports, i.e. the mid sixties, we would leave for Raglan, Saturday morning before dawn, drive 45minutes, sit at the Point (West Coast)waiting for light and listen to Sydney AM radio stations. Surf throught the day, if it was on, then drive to Whangamata or Mount Maunganui (East Coast) maybe three hours from Raglan, party hard then back to Hamilton Sunday night. A bit harder to do if you live in New Plymouth or Gisborne, probably a good seven to nine hours to traverse the North Island there.

Wow thats cool, I'm 5.5 hrs from Cornwall and three and a half from the fickle east coast, My friends and I were in france in 09' (Hoss to cape ferret) I met a cool German who lived in the Black Forest region and surfed a river , like in Munich he said but shallower, You have to cut your fins down so they don't catch on the submerged ramp. Is this a growing trend in Germany?
The community is growing, but not the amount of waves. If you are very lucky you discover a new one if there is floodwater, but these are only surfable with the right tide, mostly 2-3 days a year. The 2 in munich exist for over 30 years.
Yep I am in Salida, CO. We actually have two shapers in town. We are mostly shaping boards for the river. Land locked is a state of mind!
“River surfing” is not surfing. Sorry.

I have a house in the OBX near the ocean but since my recent marriage I am 7+ hours from the beach. I have my surfboard building shop directly in front of a ski resort here in the mountains furthest West in Maryland. I get back to the beach as much as I can to surf with my two sons who live close to the beach. Last winter I would go to my shop, take a propane torch to my locks to defrost the ice out of the keyholes. Then I would go in and crank up a torpedo heater and space heaters. I would bring along a igloo cooler filled with mega hot water and soak my resin so it would become workable to glass. Living away from the ocean is not how I forecasted my life going but I certainly enjoy the many activities around the lake and mountain, especially visiting my shop to build boards and fins. The outside of my shop looks like a crack garage..inside it’s been rebuilt to a state of the art shop for what I do. Locals have no idea that I am tucked away doing what I love most (other than surfing with my boys) as 100’s of cars race by my shop during the day. The ones that do know, think I’m crazy/cool as hell for building surf crafts 7hours from the ocean…
Sammy does the A in your name stand for asshole? Seems it must. Don't hate dude this thread was about how far our members live from the ocean, not about what you think.
