Winter Madness

Finished exams last week. We've been scoring amazing waves every day all over the Boland. I haven't surfed this much in ages. Everywhere from Strand to Betties has been on fire lately and we have been lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time every session.

Caves has been going bananas lately. Both sessions we had there this past week there was only four or five people out. Classic. Adin and I where the only two people out the other day in amazing barreling waves.

Haven't been taking too many photos of the mad waves, but here are a few from the other day:

The waves at Caves keep on coming weekend after weekend. Although the banks aren't as good as in summer, there are still a few nuggets coming through. Strand has also come back to life. I had three amazing sessions there this past week. The waves are so rippable and fun.

My favourite board got snapped in half at Caves yesterday. Bummer. That thing was amazing.

Boland Trails

Surfed Boland trails in Jongensfontein a few weeks back. Davey, Coetzer and I missioned up together. The waves were pretty out of control on the first day, but it cleaned up for the second day and we scored some fun waves. We also had fun sessions at Stilbaai Point and Kakgat inbetween heats. I had a few ok heats, but kept on getting bad waves in the semis and lost out. Davey surfed well and made the team.

Here are a few photos taken by Coetzer:
