11 / 11 / 11

Today was a good day. I wasnt expecting an easy science paper but recieved an easy science paper. Was not expecting an early lift home but recieved an early lift home. Was not expecting to go to the mountains but ended up there but most importantly I was expecting onshore waves. But instead some heaving passion pits. STOKED

Exams are coming to and end. 5 of those bastards left!

Here are some photos from us horsing around in the mountains today:

Watch and learn + my feet



Pure stoke on the edge of the world



Fairly plain photo that does seem to do it for me, maybe a new blog header in the future

halfway

Firstly, sorry to all for not blogging much lately. The truth is we havent really been scoring the sickest waves but have probably surfed more the past week than ever this year. Which is a good thing. Have been scoring good fun waves with 3 days out of the 8 very good waves. Some photos were taken and one surf was filmed.

On sunday while looking at all the kids having a bash at silkies and just after surfing pipe myself I realised, that silkies was the place all the local guys started. And my group of bodyboarders, our generation is almost splitting up next year with everyone going there seperate waves. Ofcourse we will still see each other. Just not as often. So what im trying to say is enjoy all the time while you have it.

half hundy

Such an epic day up the west coast with the last of the boland bodyboarding kumba iron ore development clinics. The kids all recieved there kit today and were frothing hard.

Drove up with Christian and Willis, was a sick drive and I think I cracked some sick film photos. We also visited the seesig sentrum kodak film shop and were given free expired film. Even an ilford black and white. It was snatched by Chris.

Here are a few photos.

A pot of gold right in the middle of khayelitsha. Maybe some hope.



High speed, we are going high speed.

a wave I wish to return to

Here are the photos of a wave I wish to return to, although each time I go there I come running back with my tail between my legs and a few minor injuries. This wave has got such power and the view of the wave from the bottem turn is indescribable.

I wish to return to this wave.



I got barreled off of my koenjani on this wave and got a section to hit. Chris Bolton photo.



This wave was a bit smaller but equally as friendly also offering a passion pit. Chris Bolton photo.



Barrel time again, wave after wave. Chris Bolton photo.



A more recent photo. A small barrel was on offer. Rikus Fourie photo.



A photo from the same session, Frans Lombard photo. Still air dropping but managed to make this one nicely.

bugzilla

Had a very eventful day, earned some cash money handing out pamflets at the robots today. Felt like a tit but the pay is good, then went to caves and earned some hard earned wedges. Airtime was freely avaialble.

Armand snapped some shots with my camera and then in the afternoon I took a few.

Boland champs is coming up, 26 november, and you guys can find out more about that on the facebook event. It's always a super fun event worth being at. Here are the photos.
