SA champs update

Just found out that we have free internet at out house in blouberg so I decided to update my blog. For those who don't already know, boland is doing very well this year. Already having 5 surfers that have progressed into finals and another 4 riders surfing semi finals. Tomorrow the finals and semi finals are being surfed and he swell is here!

Will do a big update when I get home with more details and some photos.

Went for a photo taking session with Jandre this evening. Got some surprisingly nice photos actaully but the zones we were at were mind-blowing. Such nice places that need to be revisited soon.

Holidays have officially began for me, have my matric dance tomorrow evening. Interesting stuff mann. SA champs in 4 days which is super amping and should be fun. The waves are going to be bullshit, fact.

Here are the photos:

Such an interesting weekend. Have actually been surfing everyday this past week but nothing exceptionally good until this mornings waves. Such ramps and barrels that made life pleasant. And all after 4 and a half hours sleep after Chris Junkers christmas party 2.0. Was super fun and actually havent been too tired today. Surprising.

Did not take the photos I wanted because by the time I left the water the tide was too high.

Here they area anyway. I apologize for the poor image quality but it is probably better suited than the photos in my previous posts.

Mountaineer

Today well driving to a lesser known surf spot in the boland I realised how nice the mountains are and what nice photos they make. First time I have taken photos of them and the sunrise light was perfect.

The waves were not what we were expecting but it's always worth the drive.

These photos were all taken from a moving car.



First taken photo.



Pretty desolate. I like this one.



Follow this road well.

Out with the old

So I got my new board today from Mr Len Bradford. Very much appreciated. Its the 40.5" Tom Rigby and she goes well! I have switched back to PP for the reason that it lasts longer but also it's the only option. No PE or 3D which is a bit of a bummer but I have stepped down by half an inch which should be interesting on bigger waves.

This week has been full of surfing for me having surfed everyday so far and planning on completing the whole week surfing each day. Feeling healthy and even have a wetsuit tan again.

SA champs next week YEAH.

Here she is:



New VS. Old
