Ice Cold

Spent most of my weekend frolicking in the icy cold waters of Koeel Bay. Waves were real fun on both Friday and Saturday, but the water was absolutely freezing before the sun came out from behind the mountain. Only on our way home on Friday, did we discover that the mountain tops were covered in snow.

Coetzer Cooke Photography tagged along to capture the action. Here are a few photos: All photo's by Coetzer Cooke.

Delayed Reactions

A week ago, our two month long winter break came to an end. I was fortunate enough to spend most of the holiday tripping through the country. Got to visit all my favorite points up the east coast: Mossel Bay, J-Bay and Vic Bay. We scored good waves on every trip.

Surfed USSA's in Vic Bay for the Maties surf team. The waves were small but really fun. Vic beachie had really good banks and we had some solid free surfs there. We ended up coming 4th overall. Next year we'll take the gold, I'm shure of it haha. Harde partytjies, good surfing and a amazing group of people. Everyone had a good time. Looking forward to next year.

The next few months will be spent studying back in Stellenbosch and tracking down big winter barrels at home. Always fun.

Here are a bunch of photos from the past month, I havent posted any in a while:

Weekend up the coast

Just got back from a epic long weekend in Mossel Bay. Solid waves lit up the points. We got to surf all day, every day. Epic.

Spending a week or two here at home and then we are going up to J-Bay to get barreled off our heads!

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:
