The 5day Weekend
The 5day waiting period of the super long weekend started off with strong onshore winds and a lay day was called. A lone soldier paddled out and surfed the waves on offer for a few hours. Everyone who watched thought he was mad. Shark bait someone said. His name... Duncan. Duncan ripped. I watched for about an hour as he shredded every wave that came his way, landing airs and crazy things. Sick.
Day 2. Big swell, Easterly wind. The waves were good all day. All the boys were out and everyone ripped. A rare appearance of Mr.Shane was even made. Epic day.
Day 3 was spent at koeelbay. The body boarders took over Caves, so I surfed a funnish bank at Beaches.
Day 4 Drove over to the other side. Die Wes Kus. The waves were gooood. Got a few very good barrels.
Day 5 Back in Strand. The day started off with some windy waves, but the wind magically disappeared and the waves turned out to be epic. Perfect finnish to a epic weekend of surfing.
About to set them fins free
Duncan: Epic claim
Trying new things
I pulled into this tonnel. Too deep. It threw me down and snapped my leash.
Wes kus is die bes kus

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.
