A lot has happened since my last post. My car has been broken into twice. Right outside our apartment in Stellenbosch. The thieves getting away with my camera lenses the first time, which I was stupid enough to leave under a towel in my car. The second time, they tried to remove my radio, which they failed at horribly, leaving me with only a broken window to get repaired. Tik koppe.
Over our short midterm break in Sept, Marthinus and I had a amazing trip up to Mozambique. The ocean was dead flatt, but we had a amazing time soaking up the sun and experiencing the local scene. On our return, Marthinus got several strains of malaria, after only being bitten twice. He was really sick for a bit, but is back to full health. I now know where most of the best waves are located, so next time we are klapping it hard.
Davey ''Dawid" Gouws and I have hit a dry patch in our endless hunt for Boland barrels. Getting completely skunked on numerous occasions. Wrong wind, wrong swell, wrong sand. Don't worry, summer is creeping ever closer and soon all the elements will align. Talk of no waves will be long gone in the South Easterly wind. Watch this space.
Here are a few photos of Betties a while back, taken by Coetzer Cooke. If you haven't seen Coetzer's photo's in the Binne Die Boland article in the new zag, I suggest you go pick up a copy. It is also a really well written article by local charger Phillip Nel. Worth the read.
