Super useful info, thanks Matt 
I reckon another advantage if it's properly windy, of onshore over side-shore, is the wave face is less choppy.
nice summary.....should have thrown some "cheese rolls" in there somewhere though!
I remember that cross-on results in jumping into clean wind behind the wave. Side-off has very messy wind on the other side.
Thanks, Professor Matt!
I am enjoying the croissants in Lyon at the moment!
Shame there are no waves.
Have been going for a few triples though
