sun, swell, sandbanks

Is it winter... or is it summer??? The weather is seriously confusing me. Sun. SE winds. Banks and lots of sand at Caves. Winter is great.

The summer conditions have not stopped the swell from filtering into the Bay. Strand has been so good lately. There's been lots of average and bad days in between, but the few days the waves were good were amazing.

Everyone's been ripping. Adin is ripping on his new board. Duncan is also surfing much better now that he is not freezing to death anymore(he got a new suit). The standout surfer of last weekend was definitely Steffen Burrows. He stepped up his surfing once again and was doing sick turns.

My new board is the magic board. Best board I;ve ever ridden. Thanks Dutchie.

Got home from JBay Monday night. On the way home we stopped at MosselBay, where we surfed some fun, inconsistant waves.

I had my first surf at Pipe on thursday and then I had a great session on friday. The waves were really fun and I had a peak all to myself. Adin got a long standup barrel on thursday, even though the waves were tiny.

Jordy Smith won the billabongpro this morning. Back-to-back winner, congrats.

Will be posting short jbay movie soon.

JBAY post 2

The waves have been small for almost a week now, but I am still having fun. The waves are still better than Strand.

I'm doing a three day training course with coach Lu. Adin is also here for training and we've had a few fun sessions together. Adin is really ripping, doing the craziest turns. Matt McG is also shredding the little waves. For those 2 guys the waves are still headhigh.
