RE: SURFING: Surfing in the rain - what exactly goes on in a surfer's brain?

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

Awesome! I have always said the same to landlubbers that have thought I was nuts for going out in the the rain....."well, you are going to get wet in the water anyway mate...." lol.
Today I am reading/ looking at this surfing blog of yours on my laptop compared to past ones on my phone & the larger gopro photos are clearer on it and may have satisfied my pigheaded curiosity on life.....were you putting your life in dangers in the rain hehehe.
As for the rugby....no comment.....and beyond grateful that I told dstv where to shove their overpriced subscription where the sun don't shine about eight years ago while gifting my flat screen to a needy youngster at the same time.

Hahaha - yes it sounds like you know exactly where I was!

There is a better, but usually more crowded, reef a bit further along the False Bay coast, but I usually only paddle out there on the rare occasions it has about 5 people or less! If it's actually very good, and full of people as a result, you tend to only get the best set waves if you are a known local who has put the time into the spot (like my friend Justin who is a good surfer). Otherwise, you tend to just catch the leftover waves that break a bit wide, which is also fine sometimes - but yes, I prefer to surf with fewer people and have relaxed fun, rather than haggle over waves, and so this place and its even more obscure neighbors get checked a lot!

It sounds like we're going to have a HIVE "board meeting" soon out at the backline? Let me know if you plan on going out at Muizenberg one day?

Bang hahaha. Yip, I used to frequent it pretty often in my younger years along with that electrified place closer to Muizenberg.Did my my rounds at the Brass Bell view when Robin Auld and few others were the legends of the day & a few years older than me but back then it was already quite a hustle. I watch it on cooking days these days with about 30 guys out and wonder wtf? Haha. I have also always enjoyed finding quieter spots.

A board meeting is a must and will definately give you a shout :)

The electrified place - perhaps you can catch a glimpse of it in this old post - one of my first about 3 months ago! I was using a rather poor quality water camera back then, and have been borrowing better ones from my friends since... soon I will have a good action camera of my own!

Yes, we must have a board meeting and any pictures I get of you must be posted! Deal?
