| Burning the candle at both ends |

The last week has been manic. Have finalised most of the sponsors and logistics on the Varsity College Marine Surfski Series for 2011 and trying to train hard for Dubai coming up. Leave in exactly a week.
Woke up yesterday with a cough. Not ideal. Being sick is my greatest fear so in true terror rushed off to the doc. He laughed at me and told me to get more sleep, stop working so hard and chill. No more burning the candle at both ends. All expected.
I told him back “I got a life” haha. Think he understood.

| SA Surfski Champs |

Saturday got off to a good start with a nice SW blowing through the window when I woke up. Stoked. Haven’t had a race in a downwind for a while. EL as expected delivered.
The race organisers pick a sick course from Orient Beach to Nahoon coming in at 22km. Perfect for a double day event. The protected start made things really fair (important for a national title) and the point break finish was bound to be exciting.
I got a good start and went onto the front wave at 300m into the race. Settled nice and quick when we hit the run out of the ...

It’s Friday afternoon and this is where I am sitting, in the East London Surf at Nahoon. Got to be one of my favourite places in the world.
I have some good mates here and take any excuse I can get to come down here. The hospitality is unreal, the wind surf and swell never lets up and the babes are hot!
I was very surprised there was a little bit of revolt to the champs being in EL. People just don’t understand how cla...

Big smile photo thanks to Jacques Marais - http://jacquesmarais.co.za/

I have missed this event in some years being in the height of the serious racing block on the surfski front. Try my best to get the opportunity to race as it is an epic not to be missed. The valley, people, organisation and vibe rock.
As normal (shouldn’t be in reality) I landed my ass i...
