HEYA! I surfed in the Freestyle SurfAbout presented by BATTERY Energy Drink at Table View Beach last weekend (Check out the slide show on the BOMBsurf.co.za HERE). 

My first heat on Saturday afternoon went ok, by the time the girls division got underway it was high tide (MONSTER shorey I couldn’t get in after my heat haha got smashed into the sand. kiff!)  and the onshore was up, but I still managed to get two fun waves and made it through! RAD#1

After the contest on Saturday all the competitors rocked out at Stones Table View (Free VIP entry! RAD#2). Freestyle sponsored band PRETTY DIRTY blew up and every body had an awesome time. 

On Sunday the weather wasn’t tooooooo good, the wind was howling and the paddle was hectic! I never surf  Table View cos it’s a mission paddle and its difficult to be in the right spot for sets etc BUT there are actually fun waves out there, even when it looks horrible. Ian Armstrong blew me away in the Open Mens final, he was surfing SO well and throwing himself at the crazy shorey. He was doing re-entries onto DRY SAND! I’m so happy he won the R6000.00 he deserved it. I won the Ladies final (RAD#3)! It was VERY close between Penny Stemmet and I for 1st place! Look out for the Freestyle SurfAbout on SUPERSPORT, I think it premieres on the 1st October !!!!

These pics are from last week Thursday, maybe Friday.  Or Wednesday? I dunno.  I’m not going to say where this spot is, but I will say it’s after Big Bay but before Van Strand. haha. I drive by this wave a few times a day, and I hardly ever surf it. I don’t really even stop to check it out.  BUT from now on I  WILLLL !!!!!  We had it to ourselves for about 2 hours, then the wind came up as a few other dudes paddled out. NICE haha.  Thanx Ty for the pics.

I did an interview with ZIGZAG  last week, check it out HERE

++ Here are a few of Tyron Kansley’s shots from Monday ! SUCH fun waves at this beach break near Silverstroom. This spot is on a private beach but luckily we had a key for the gate, so we didn’t have to do the 4km walk along soft beach sand (i would have died along the way) to get there. Stefan Lindeque was flipping ripping, just look at the pics. . you know he made that TONNEL.++
