JARED HOUSTON and the CAPE CLASSIC and the start of WP TRIALS 2010

i andrew raath am pease to say that 1 of my close friends has prooved to the world what the saffa's have known for a good couple of years and the austrlians have realised in the past couple of months.
that JARED HOUSTON is in fact 1 of the most talented bodyboarders in the world..
he has made us proud and made his way into the pipeline pro 2010's final and coming in 3rd place against the guys he grew up watching on dvd's.(he has also just got a double page spread in the lastest rip tide). sacha specker a person that has supported and pushed me in my bodyboarding since i was 12 also did well in the dk dicison grabbing a 5th placing.i actually think that he mustv had an off day becAUse in my eyes he is the best dk rider in the world and over all rider when it comes to prone riding dk riding and stand up surfing(in stand uo surfing he will kill most ou's that reckon they really good).
amazing that south africans actually are world standard..2010 is our country's year!
see more from the event here and more from the dk event here

S.A Champs 2009 :)

S.A champs was a whole new thing for me because it was my first year. yes i was extremely nervous and did not know what to expect with the initiation etc but by this photo you can see slightly how my hair turned out . . .and spex shaved a penis into the back of my head.

The first two days of S.A champs were at elands point break then the other days were all at famous with 2 or so heats at farmers.

for my first year of S.A 's and not knowing much of hustling etc it was pretty hard as well as some of the competition but i managed to come in 2nd place . . .losing by such little points :( bleakkk ! Andrew Raath was doing well and made the cut to move into qaurter finals but his quarter finals heat wasnt all to easy, he had murray van vuuren, aden kleve and adam waites . . and at the end he got a 3rd which knocked him out and getting a place of i think 9th. Here are some of the photos of me at S.A 's:
