West coast part 1

Just got back from the west coast today and im leaving again Wednesday. I have picked up some really miff throat infection leaving me behind the lense for the frist 5 days of the trip but hoefully scoring the last 3 days.

The west coast is undescribable. Gassing reef everywhere you look. It amazing to see what a 11ft swell does on that side. This west coast mssion coming up is more of a explore mission so we will be surfing waves that probably dont look surfable

Hoping to get some good photos now and here are some for the moment. All action photos by Frans Lombard.

baboon huntdown

I used to respect baboons... Until they started running away with my camera! Luckily Jandre took the baboon on throwing boulders at it. But really im stoked it never ran away with my camera bag because it had all my camera equiptment, cellphone, watch and cash. They managed to get away with Malcolms food. We also got the same baboon that tried to skollie my camera bag walking up to the car park and I nearly kakked. They surrounded us but with tortoise-like-tactics we scared them away.

Anyway waves were absolutely cooking and sunrise this morning was amazing. After this blog post I will be packing my bags for a 4 day westcoast trip up to Lamberts bay followed by another week long trip on wednesday. After the trip I will have loads of photos and stories to tell.

Until them some photos. enjoi



I very fancy sunrise

Scored cooking caves today. It was something we all needed and spent an awesome international surfing day/fathers day combo at the beach with friends. Got some very good photos that will have a safe home in my archives until I decide to show them.

Weskus time is drawing nearer and im super amped for my first decent west coast trip.

Some photos for your enjoyment:

Hopefully scoring some good waves this holiday. Got lots planned.
