Cover : theBOMBsurf Issue 8

theBOMBsurf Spring 2010 cover

As the release of the Spring 2010 issue of theBOMBsurf, the last issue for 2010, came within sight I started to become a little ansey as I hadn't claimed a cover of the magazine the whole year. I was getting worried I would not have my name printed on at least one of their landscape format issues and thanks to Sean Holmes and the South Coast a few months back I get the final cover of the year.

Thanks Sean, thanks John, thanks Iain. Now to plot the next . . .

Feeling nostalgic

Sean Holmes post Billabong Pro R2 heat win

Today far away from any surf competition I feel a little nostalgic. Up till the beginning of July I'd been "unemployed" if you wish. The Mr Price Pro was my first event I'd worked in 3.5 months. From there I headed down to Jeffreys Bay for the Billabong Pro where I was forced to bail the event mid Round 2 for a family emergency. Family comes first! Down in Cape Town today Greg Emslie won the O'Neill CWC keeping all three South African surf event trophies in South Africa.

2010 - Mr Price Pro Ballito - Jordy Smith

2010 - O'Neill Cold Water Classic Cape Town - Greg Emslie

My next event now lies two months away in France.
