Hi Everyone,
Been just more than a month ago since you last heard from me. Things got very busy in the new year with the learn to surf and the junior kids that wanted training before going back to school.
However the last few weeks have been generally quite although there is a lot of preparation going on for the World Games.
Long time chommie, Kevin Olsen is in town, Ex slummies local is visiting from from France where he now resides. Its really great to catch up with friends over some good waves.
Waves wise its been pretty slow with the odd good day here are there. This is pretty unusual, if you check older blogs you might notice that each time i report back the surf has been cooking.
Been playing around with my water camera and have a couple shots to share with you, have a look and let me know what you think.
I have been saving the best news for last. I have recently been selected along with 31 other surfers from all around South Africa to take part in the Quiksilver good wave.
After winning it in 2003 and having been residing in the U.K for 6 years, Quiksilver have given me the opportunity to take part in one of the most prestigious events of the year.
Shaun Joubert, the Prince of Mossel Bay and up and coming ripper is also amongst the 32 select surfers chosen to take part.
The Good wave has a year long waiting period and has the biggest prize purse of any contest in South Africa, it will be held at the New Pier in Durban. Check out www.goodwave.co.za to follow the status of the event.
You can also go to www.magicseaweed.com to see more photos of waves in and around the Mossel Bay area.
Yours in surfing
