Postcards from South Africa - Durban : 230408


Howzit,

Today the Goodwave ran, I wouldn’t say it was Goodwave quality but it was good never the less. Not many barrels going down, not many boards broken the wind messed up the afternoon session. My theory is to split the event over two days, make it “The 2 Day Goodwave”. Anyway, Shane Thorne pocketed R75 000 for his efforts. good on ya Shaneo.

This here is North Pier, the piers are fantastic when you’re feeling lazy or when there is a bit of size to it. But, and that is a big BUT, get your timing wrong and you will know all about it. I have done the walk of shame on numerous times and I have snapped a board before having even ridden a wave. Today was no exception. With the Lemmings stacked up some were left scratching their heads as to when is the right time. Sometimes there is no right time, you just take the plunge and paddle.

Until next time . . . hot coffee burns your tongue.
