Finally the rain has stopped! I have been surfing all day and I’m tired and it feels so good. Summer in South Africa is awesome.

Yesterday Tam and I found a little 2ft right bank at *not telling you where* and had an awesome 3hr sesh. Tam was boosting all over the show and I chucked a couple of rad reverses and tail slides. Awesome day.

The Wahine Cup starts on Sat so gotta start preparing ! I’m excited to get a contest jersey on ! The swell in meant to be tiny for the event. We checked out the contest site this morning and the banks look better than last year, so hopefully we get some contestable waves to ride.

ALL DAY Beach Day !!

Summer = trying out different boards

I have some amazing friends. Tammy -Lee flew me to Durban, ooooo sorry i mean Ballito, for my birthday, thats a special kind of special huh?? Ya I think so. Her family runs, in my opinion, one of the best backpackers in the country - The Secret Spot. Please check it out, beeessst backpackers – I’m very serious.

The surf hasn’t been too great since I got here, but we have had a few fun surfs at Surfers Point in Ballito and a few sessions in Umhlanga with Chris Leppan. I’m so fine with that. I also fell off a skateboard. Not fine with that. I’m not into falling onto tar, thats why I surf – I fall into water. Haha.

We also went on a Southcoast mission (Thanx Robbo), did not get good waves and Tam, Dan and Trav almost got eaten by a shark. Well not really – it just swam past them but thats a liiiitttttttle toooooo close for me. Had a flipping fun time down there, even with Sharkys and without waves.

Here are some pics I took during the last week. Actually Travis Joffe took a couple of them as well.
