Just spotted someone looking for Folkestone Harbour reef on this site, and I managed to rescue this info on surfing in Folkestone from the google cache of a deleted bbc.co.uk/kent page:
John - die hard local Folkestone harbour beach has been going off for ages; surfers just dont know how good its been! So you all need to get down here as soon as magic seaweed shows the low pressure in the North Sea. callum, hythe, kent

This is part of my website The Folkestone Gerald that I built in a fury of enthusiasm when we first moved here sometime in 2004. I'd been a frequent visitor for a while previous to that so I am technically one of those DFLs you get nowadays. The site was a lot more dynamic with a gig calendar and voting for favourite places and stuff, and I know it was a useful resource for those who were thinking of moving here. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only to Hythe) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as The town is now becoming the exciting place we knew it was just about to. My name is not Gerald by the way, the name comes from a pretend newspaper in an episode of The Day Today or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local newspaper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are great aren't they? Do contact me if you have something to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
