the orange river

After a rather peaceful day of rest, I have packed my bags again and am off too the orange river in the early hours of tomorrow morning. Frothing to be back up there and hopefully i'm able to do a trip with my good mate Tiaan!

My ship packed to capacity

Hermanus surf coaching

Spent the last 10 days of my life in Hermanus and the surroundings surf coaching. It was a really nice experience. And the people who hosted us were all legends! 

I did not get to bodyboard much which sucked but after full days in the sea and sun you are pretty much done for the day! 

Here are a couple of photos:

roasty west coast

Had an epic week up the west coast. Good friends, good waves and good memories!

Managed to get footage from every session so should have a sick edit on the way soon. Tiaan was riding like a mad man so be sure to keep and eye out for the edit.

Here are a couple of photos:

Llandudno is icy bru

 Icy cold atlantic surf today at Llands. The wave is so much different to Koeel bay and pretty difficult to surf. Well atleast I felt it was.

I only surfed for about an hour because I got too cold but still scored a few!

Henrique took these photos:

Nice looking.

Clean roll
Funky invert
Mooi reverse

as smooth as a slice of milktart

Been a bit bored lately in this lemon weather.

Went for a skate today with Tiaan Hoeben and Henrique Cilliers. Was an unsuccessful skate for me but atleast it got me out of the house. 

Here are a few photos taken by Henrique:

Its on

I guess it is on! Full day at the beach with 2 epic surfs, good friends, plenty vitamin D. Even a sneaky cliff jump and game of hangman to round it off. Now all we need is a braai.

New board went so well in good waves. Unfortunately  not much documented of me on the camera. I took a few photos though and those not watermarked were taken by Jacques and Rikus.

Tafelberg

Today myself and 3 friends headed up Table mountain. By foot.

It was an epic hike and it feels super good to have completed it, I took a couple of photos and i'm pretty stoked with how they came out. I was however mostly filming and will get editing this evening.

Here are some photos:

Nikon D5100

New camera and I am stoked! 

The feature I am most attracted to would be the video footage. Keen to get some edits done.

rediscovered

Took this photo a while back while snorkeling out infront of my house and I can't help but keeping going back to it.

Last night instead of studying, I spent my time skating. This little board is way to fun.

Images not watermarked were taken by my sister.
