British newspapers wouldn't be the first place I'd start looking for surf related info and discussion, let alone "The Times" newspaper, one of the UK's longest running "broadsheets" and universal symbol of all things traditionally British. So to find a surfing related blog nestled comfortably amongst the pages of Times Online website is unexpected but wholly welcomed and is a pretty forward thinking move by one of the corner stones of the British establishment. The Blog has been created by Alex Wade and is worth checking out: www.timesonline.co.uk/surfnation
Alex Wade is a writer, freelance journalist and occasional media lawyer. He is the author of Surf Nation: In Search of the Fast Rights and Hollow Lefts of Britain and Ireland (Simon & Schuster, 2007) and Wrecking Machine: A Tale of Real Fights and White Collars (Simon & Schuster 2005 hardback, 2006 paperback).
He is the first UK writer to cover surfing in serious depth for a national newspaper thanks to a daily blog at www.timesonline.co.uk/surfnation, and lives and surfs in the far west of Cornwall.
