Coldwater Classic South Africa!!!!!!

The most Northern, the most southern, the wildest and the coldest group of competitions on the WQS circuit!

64 rounds taking place at Outer Kom, this wave is situated at Kommetjie, a suburb in one of the most beautiful places on earth, Cape Town. The wave its self is a solid reef break and with smaller beachies more inshore, should provide some good wave set ups!

Big shout out to the Kom Scom Massive! Respect to all the cold water surfers out there!

Lekker my bru eh!

Flo pics

As I am in the family way I sadly couldn't take part in the Flo riding antics, instead I took some pretty pictures.

After awhile I got bored of making everyone look good and decided to get some more amusing shots, these were of course only for my own amusement but sadly somehow a villainous rouge got his hands on one and outed the lovely Tee.

He shall remain nameless for legal reasons, but if you see this guy tell him he's been a very naughty boy.

Check those little local South Coast spots

Search and you will find! We can think of some little south coast local spots that will be producing a fun ride! Had a few confirmed by customers picking up wax and leashes this morning

Hello Pretty Pretty

We've had one or two shiny new boards in; by one or two I mean a whole boatload, and if you want to see just how shiny and just how pretty you'll have to come by and take a look see.

I know, we're such a tease..
