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:

a little west coast trip!






welll yesterday we went not to far up the west coast 2 get some yummy barrels!!!
jason fowler was most prob the biggest stand out in the surf making barrels that looked impossible..
and i guess i had a few gooood 1s to ;)
today we went to the same place again accept we went with different people..
jason went with conner
and i went with simon "big red" heale ,who has just arrived back from a surf trip in oz..
hahha u can imagine how cold he found our water...
he didnt let it stop him though..
sadly the pictures from today didnt look to great "apparently"..
we got sum kief footage though ..
but the footage isnt mine its from melkbos bodyboarder piet who is making a movie..
im not ganna lie today i had most prob the deepest barrel of my life..they stopped shooting camera and video cos they both thought i never made it out.. STUFF MAN!!
i came out the barrel with such a smooth flip that was close to full roatation and ending the wave off with a role..
i hope i get a wave like that 1 in a contest haha...
im going on another surf trip on sunday and im hoping to score :)
well bye byer for now!!
p.s. yellow board is mine and blue board is jasons..
