if the pimps in the crib, drop it likes its hot!!!!

when i saw this photo i was super amped just to post it on the blog.....it takes cast iron ball to put yourself in a possision like jerry got himself into over here!!!! and not to mention the stories iv heard about okes bailing at this wave and then not finding there boards again???? could this be true????? but who cares the rewards exceed the losses and im sure jerry reeped the benefits of this take off!!!!!!

Vaughn drops bombs.......

south africa has such great talent wheen it comes to our sport. and all the time we keep finding out about new groms that rip and random okes that come out of nowhere! this is all dew to one factor within our sport that contributes to these peoples "stokedness" and thats rolemodels. by seeing someone completelly rip a session makes a young booger want to push himself.....
one of the people that got me to push myself this year, due to having to surf against him in trials, is vaughn harris. this oke could prb dk switch better than most people can forehand.....and in this photo he shows us how to take off on a bomb!!!!!!

Summer vibes!!!!!!!!!!

if you havnt noticed yet, the southern hemisphere is well on its way in terms of changing seasons.....yesssss it is almost summer and for my part of the world that means waves.
for some the winter was dry,harsh and unfriendly towards anyone that wanted to hit the beach or just frikken surf. although there were the odd days of good waves nothing beats summer vibes and i sure as hell cant handle the wait.
the last of the bad weather is hitting us and in about 3 weeks to a month it will just be sunny skies and south easter winds!!!!!!! as a teaser bellow is a small but perfect summer day at the second best spot in the overberg, caves. Melt hugo shows us how to ride a tube$$$$$

A few big moves with Mark Mccarthy$$$

Last year Mark spent alot of his time in Australia competing in contests and working.... and when he wasnt doing those things i suppose he was free surfing with mates. one in peticular being Nic
Kruger, who is from the hood (hermanus) and lives in Aus. the pics that are part of this post were taken at nuggen one of the most famous waves in australia and thanks to Kruger i can show you a few sick photos of Mark.......

Shark island

australia is definite full of waves that cook all the time. from wedging sanbars to solid reef Aus has it all. here are some photos that came back from The land down under with Marthinus Botha of the island from a wierd angle...but none the less its pumping out there and im getting super amped to surf from just writing this post.....aaaaaahhhh!!!!!!

Botha in Aus........

in the year of o8 Marthinus Botha missioned to the land down under hoping to find what it is that has been attracting south african bodyboarders to that country????
and after 3 months of research and development he captured the answer to all the questions asked in 1 photo........a huge gaping barrel at supertubes!!!!!!

Onrus Banging!!!!

OK!!! Hold va horloosie, stop va clock!!!! what you are looking at has goto be one of the best days i have ever surfed the LOC headquarters (onrus beach)
this bank showed up on e wednesday and it cooked!!! we didnt think it could have gotten any better until the saterday of the same week came and it blew my mkind when i rocked up at the beach on dawn patrol.
1st thing i did was whipped out my phone to call Marthinus botha who brought his dad along, pretty good photographer. marthinus and i went in and his dad shot ........these were the results of that mixture!!!!!

above the bowl...

this day at onrus was super good ....
about 2 3ft and wedging to the right .....
there are better fotos but i wana get them to the mag....
so here is what i did with a good wave, a science dk5 and lank speed!!!!!

The Onrus Classic Boogyboarding contest

yes its another year that has gone by and there is no other way to end off the bodyboarding calendar than with the highly corrupt Onrus classic..... hahaha jokes
the classic will be taking place this december and again its going to be the same event with a super fet P.A system, fine honeys on the beach and good waves
but yeah the dates arnt finalised yet but as i find them out il blog them!!!!!

keep it frozen!!!! (my lame slogan)

shipwrecked with penguins

when i saw this photo that Mark Reitz sent me i couldnt believe id been surfing so close to it yet never even heard about it..... apparentlly this place is called shipwrecks and its somwhere between here and there....and im sure you have surfed the spot closest to it.....i couldnt believe my eyes when i found out where it is???????
this oke got so shacked over and over again......

crash landing!!!

thanx to my good mate Mark Reitz, i am able to bring you this solid photo of Koi san ledge!!!!! hahaha dumb surfers claiming boogy spots and then renaming them to keep it underground?
this is how this wave is supposed to be surfed........
surfers wernt designed to surf this wave and if you dissagree then send me a photo of someone makin the drop standing!!!!

boland champs dk final

What a cracker!!!
i was super lucky to scoop this wave in the final that happend at farmer burgers. the waves were pretty good that day and this hanbreak turn scored big!!!!

Just around the corner.....

This is definitely one wave you have to surf before you die ....!!!!
pitty i cant say anything because it still is quite underground, although there were forty okes out this day....but none the less the fact that i was lucky enough to surf this as it breaks plus minus 3 times a year...

Outerpool..........what els can i say?

this was one of the days that i got outerpool good last year...my good friend johan ,who lives in mossel bay, has dial up internet and thats why im only sharing the photo now....i rate that dial up is stone age!!!!!!

apparently there are more of these good shots but due to his "Kicking it old school" internet il put those up after a few months.....sorry!

gallie uncovered!!!!!

When you live in a small town like i do you will always come around some crazy people that were born to make kuk with society...... some of them grow out of this behaviour but some dont hahaha.... the individual known as Kyle de Beer is one of the guys that will make you laugh that the tears ooze out you eyes

below is a Photo of him





Now what made this guy famous enough to be put on my blog was due to the invention of his "gallie technique" hahaha it is a spit missile that is launched from the fingers (note how he has placed his right hand in the photo) according to an anonymous source Kyle and his gang are notorious for Galling people of authority and fame ....the most reputable hit was performed on the south african rugby team where him and his thugs launch there bio hazardous arsenal at 8 of S.As starting lineup.....!!!!!!

The Riptide sequence of death

Now the following sequence is NOT i repeat NOT to be tried anywhere anytime with anyone.....or you could most likelly end up dead..... Rider Josh Garner said that he was caughing up blood the day after he took this mutant ocean swell, and what he got out of it was the cover of the Riptide bodyboarding mag.... was it actually worth the pain?????

sometimes you honestly do have to wonder where riders get there ballas from..... mr luis costes showing us that he can also drop knee on his backhand but the difference from other riders showing us is that hes doing it at pipeline on the biggest swell they got one season. and oh ja pierre is 16 years old in this shot!!!!!

Random pictures of rippers!!!!

one of the okes who are definitelly dangerous in a heat, david lilienfeld boosting a big invert....oh ja and hes taller than you!!! (pic Ian thurtel)

Spex again.....this flip was launched in the final heat of his in the prone division and it scored big, thats why he won the pro division!!!!! (pic Chris Junker)

He may have been on the scene for a modest 15 years and now deciding to "retire", Vaugn Harris did so with a bang.....here he is getting slighty tubed at a wescoast favourite. (pic Chris Junker)

aaahhh the drop knee position, and no1 does it better than S.A champ Sasha Specker "Wysing" his tail throwing skills......Wotalothegot!!!!! (pic Peepaling)

MaRk Mcarthy, easilly one of S.As best riders exploding out of this secion with an A.R.S and showing off his sponsors....

One oke that can rip is Bradley Moys and here he is doing just that with this big elrollo at famous last words.... (Pic Ian thurtel)

How to win the south african champs with Marc Webster...

In order to win a major contest like the South African bodyboarding champs, you have to put yourself in awkward positions like this position that Webby has currently got himself into. This was his BIG ars in the semi final of juniors







Now that youve made it therough step 1, you find yourself at step 2. this step is all about pushing yourself and no matter who you have in your heat just GO BIG OR GO HOME!!!!!
Marc turned this solid section into a foam ball after punching it and boosting this insane aussie styled invert!







Now onto the step where wotever you were doing right to get this far....DO IT AGAIN.
Another booming invert from Webster













Once youve surfed your final heat. get you buddies to carry you out of the water. this will put down the spirits of any of the other competitors that were with you in your final heat....











Taking the cake....after surfing hard the hole week you have just one last thing to do and thats claim you prize...

Rider in blue, Marc Webster, shakes hands with the former sa junior champ, David Lilianfield, and claims the 1st place at the S.A champs
