take a holiday

Blogging has been belated as I do not have internet at my holiday house. Over the 3weeks of holiday that has passed I have scored some good waves. I have surfed Aniston, Caves, all spots round the Pearly Beach area, Onrus and for the last few days Struisbaai. I have a few funny stories about this holiday, many coming from the Onrus Surfing/Bodyboarding Classic. Kyle Cabano can also tell you the stories about the night on the town, but we will save that for a later time. So I don’t really have any new photo’s for you seeing as all I have is footage of the holiday, so sorry. You can see some pics of the classic on KC’s blog @ http://manarise.blogspot.com/ enjoy these, none of me unfortunately. Hopefully getting a proper camera soon then pics will be coming. Struisbaai had some super fun waves scored a shorie that is like KIKI, crazy dumpers also got a solid 3 – 4ft left reef, a lot like kokkerot, I had a local stand up guru take me there, my board and suit got a few new injuries as we surfed it on super low. The Struisbaai night life was also a surprise to me! It has been a super chilled holiday thus far and I hope for it to continue in the same fashion. Merry Christmas to all and have a good new year. Cheers

YO YO YO YO YO

Aweeeeeeeeeeeeee. Sorry this post has been so delayed. Finally on holiday, haven’t go any waves yet but I’m off to a place called Waanhuiskraans aka Aniston, I have not been there since I was an infant so it will be good to check out the surf. I have been told that there is warm water and about a wave that is fickle but that it becomes world class, so we will be hoping for the best. Il see if we take any photos. Until then over and out. Peace.

awe brahhhhhhhh

(nice bachwash)

KOEEL BAY really is a very COOL BAY... so Saturday. Wake up like 6.30am at school at 7.45am write bio paper 2 till 11.03am. quick pit stop at my cradle then off to caves. Sat in traffic for quite a while, the swell charts were only showing 5.5ft ocean swell so we were expecting it to be flat. Get there and its the best 1 – 2ft you have ever seen. With sick little sections and nice barrels. The water was like a bath and super clear. Like indo water. My pe board was like paper it was so warm. 24degrees, needed bordies. Its good to finally have some sunny skies BP pies off shores good banks and pumping waves. Yea so here are some pics of some waves. All photos taken by amateur photographer Pieter Ferreira. Using a Nikon d50 with 70 – 300mm lens. Enjoy these.

EPIC

So got some fun waves on Sunday, good old caves produced some fun ones that packed quite a punch. Left pretty early as had to go study. Heard that after we left there was a pretty horrific accident involving a motorbike and a cliff… not pleasant as you can imagine. Credit goes to Kyle Cabano for landing a sick pop revo and a pretty sweet little vert. Also to the big guy Fred Voster for attempting to bust a roll on a big section, in doing that loosing his board and cushioning his bail with his chin on a rock. Haha some good times. Il put on some of the frame grabs later in the week. Here are 2 photo’s taken by Ian Thurtell of a place on the west coast called ‘Farmer Burgers’ super epic wave which Marius Burger and myself scored uncrowded on 4 – 6ft. it’s a crazy sick reef that provides an epic barrel. Here is a glimpse of that wave in October. Don’t under estimate it, it can deliver quite a mean blow, which I experienced on my second wave there, snapped my leash, caught in the 6ft freak set and not able to tread water as there is to much kelp. Other than that its all high quality fun. Enjoy peace and good luck for examinations…
