Besides being one of the best surfers this land has known, Jamie Bateman has recently become Surfline's chief forecaster for the UK and Ireland. He's long been one of the most interesting guys you could sit down with for a chat about the ocean and its ways, but now he's officially employed in that capacity. In another video edition episode (thanks to Craig at Camera Anchor if you head to our YouTube page), Tom and Vaughanie catch up with Bateman to find out about his unique surfer's journey. Besides the mishaps and the accolades that make Jamie the legend he is, there's also a chance to find out how a Surfline forecaster goes about their business - well, the stuff they can tell us at least. Lots of lesser known facts about one of our favourite style masters, but will he answer Vaughanie's most important question of all: what's the surf like in...?
