around the corner

almost done!

Science is the only subject left! 4 more days of school.

Waves have been pumping in the Boland. Even though I have been getting sick waves, I was still not in the right place at the right time. A superbank had once again formed at one of our beaches. Stories and photos are spreading. I actually had the oppertunity to go to this wave, but didn't. It never crossed my mind. I had heard of the bank a few days before, but totally forgot and just surfed Strand instead. Just fell back into my usual routine. Today I get told by friends of how good it was and checked some pics. Can't believe what I missed. Angry. Bleh. The wind's not gonna blow offshore for there again in a long time. Ai Ai.

More shots of J-bay 2011... and sneak peak of the supabank.

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.
