his name is Ke11y

If you dont't know by now, the king of our sport, meneer Kelly Slater, won his 11th world title a few days ago at the Ripcurl Pro Search (sort of). A day later the ASP admitted that they had miscalculated, and withdrew Ke11y's title. (read all about that here: asp-admits-calculation-error). Now Kelly has to win one more heat to win his title again. Hopefully Kelly gets owned in his next heat. Then there might be a chance (a really small chance) that Owen Wright can beat the old, bald man and win his first world title. haha

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.
