  I am a local Porthleven Surfer and while we don't mind (much) other competent surfers visiting, please remember to take all litter away with you and if you pitch up for a dawny please respect the local house owners by not "blasting" drum and base from your Vans massive sound systems. Oh also, remember that the "short Cut" to the Reef through a private garden should be respected and not abused or we will loose the "Privelidge" and the Property owner (a really cool Guy) will close and lock the gates. Lets all enjoy this special "Surf Break" get on together without surfers Dropping in at will, and we can all have fun. One further note to Students - Go to PRAA Sands !!!! or get a JOB IN LONDON !!
