we love strand

When you have big expectations for a upcoming swell, you almost always get disappointed when the swell arrives. Today was not one of those days. When i arrived at the beach today the waves were sick and they just got better and better as the day progressed.

I had a shocker of a first session today, wasn't able to to any proper turns or catch any good waves. In my second session the exact opposite happened. I cought all the good waves and did a thousand good turns. Ended my session with a fat air. Best surf in ages.

hi there. for the next two months we are all writing matric exams. haha. how fun. accounting was written today and it was quite hard. it just plain sucked actually (ok fine maybe it was only difficult for me). i'm really glad it's over though, never ever ever have to do it again.

i've been super bored since the ocean decided to punish us. havent surfed in a while. i've been skating and taking a lot of pics though. i'm gonna set them accounting books alight as a offering to the wave gods. maybe they'll decide to send us all some decent waves. see you all when the waves return. will write again soon. If I'm not back in a week... wait longer. haha. cheerz

strand session

today is the last day of a weeks holiday. the ocean delivered some waves for almost everyday and we surfed way too much. we did a few missions to Caves and scored some sick waves. strand was epic on thursday, the wind blew light easterly from early in the morning till twelve. i surfed for like 5hours and managed to do some of my best airs ever.

we have school for a week now and then we get a week off before final exams start. eish. lots of time to surf.

suit

had to go look for a suit near cape town for our upcoming matric farewell. decided to head over the mountain to surf. i was planning on surfing the hoek, but the wind never switched and i had to settle for crosshore funnish longbeach. i surfed pretty bad, but then mikey february came down and landed a full rotation on his first wave wich amped me up and made me surf better. we need some mikey febs down at strand. i did get the suit i came for and got to surf some fun waves so the day turned out pretty well.
