Witsands Beach Clean Up

Hey all

welcome to my blog. I think this is its first big day, a sort 'coming out' party. I haven't promoted it till now - maybe I should have.

Anyway - me or the blog don't deserve your attention now. This does:

Very kak

 
Not cool


Some of the heavy waves of winter have been chowing the dunes at Witsands and ate right into the old dump site ('who would put a dump there?' you ask. not sure, but it ranks right up there with worst ideas ever)

So myself and the good folk from Ocean Minded, Kommetjie Surf Shop, Kauai and Kommetjie Environmental Action Group have organised a clean up session for this disaster.

 
Ocean Minded will be dishing out gear to lucky participants and Kauai will be serving their famous killer smoothies to keep energy levels going. and don't let the '12PM' scare you - its just till midday (i've never been sure of the 12 AM/PM thing...)

Please spread the word, bring your friends, family, people you met last night on the jol and anyone else whose psyched to keep our cities beaches beautiful. There's no swell, so you have no excuse for not showing up. But do bring beach toys and maybe a longboard or something. Its set to be a killer beach day, and there can be no greater reward than enjoying the beach we just cleaned.

Looking forward to seeing all of you there on the day.

well, that was easy

so i started playing with photos the other day and was disappointed with the results. so i gave up, sulked a bit, and did nothing. bad. naughty. i was contemplating infant cot death for this blog.

then i was uploading pics on picassa for the first time. i noticed a little 'upload to blog' tab. and the previous post was the very simple, very quick, high res result. awesome. so once again inspired. lekker.

recent news: just got back from a few days in the swartberg. no waves out there but still a rad vibe. and just prior to that I shared an amazing day at the bay of K (koeel, not kalk). more on that soon.

the bad news is i'm staring at a job offer - it's leering at me right next to the computer. it seems it will take me to the karoo...which i, apparently doesn't have too many waves this time of year. well, we will just have to see what happens.

this blog, like life and surfing seems to have its ups and downs. time between waves, hey...

and here's another rad pic because i'm in a good mood:

 

it is paranoia when there's no one else out
