The Garden Route


Hope all of you had a very good weekend. We were blessed with perfect surf and sunshine here on the Garden Route once again. Woke up Sunday morning to another glorious day the the Bay. Took a drive around the point and from looking at conditions there one can tell if there are going to be waves elsewhere. Conditions were epic, not a breath of wind a small 2m swell running these kind of conditions open the door to many many other unsurfed uncrowded spots.


No one but no one wanted to go on a surf mission so instead i call my girlfriend and in a flash she was ready to go spend the day on the beach. Dog, child, girlfriend, braai, boards and suits packed and off we go. We pulled up to this bank that i found beginning of last week and as expected it was going off the only downer was i would have to surf it by myself. The wave we have been surfing is this sick right hander 3-4 foot shollow sand bar with barrels and long long walls, some people in other parts of the world pay thousands of dollars to surf. Anyway i got the fire going and paddled out just a short surf after a while i came in and the coals were perfect to put the boerawors on the braai.

We all had a nice feed and then the boys started showing up after being relieved of all their Sunday duties. We paddled out for another session and it was great, to share them with some buddies, the conditions stayed epic all day and into early evening. A perfect day which was ended with vetkoek and mince for supper.
