You can tell us more about Southwold.

• Go down the seafront, the actual seafront, new concrete structures, really nice ledges and sets, just a few minutes walk from the peir. Hard not to get a windy day tho!
• The spots aren't amazing but there's a small bank by the lifeguard hut near the pier, a small waxed step in front of Pete's Barber's (best to skate there on a sunday or in the evening when the shop's closed). There are loads of different banks and steps on the sea front if you don't mind skating the horrible surface. Victoria Street is sooo smooth but the residents don't like people skating there so give it a go and hope they're all out. For more flat ground you can cruise down Pier Avenue but if you want to avoid cars there's the primary school playground or the side of the pier (near the bins). Oh and if you just want to go fast try the sea front from the top of Marlborough Rd. to the Pier. Southwold is small and full of old people so keep moving from spot to spot to try not to piss them off too much.
• Opposite pier in tennis courts: Crappy mini-ramp only about 3' high and small in every way. Perhaps some street obstacles? Hmmmmmm?
• the ramps have been moved by the council but there are some good kerbs and hand rails on the seafront.
