Exploration Pays off!

Sunrise with very little swell

It was a very undecided morning as far as swell around the area was concerned. It was full high tide, not much swell, but at least the offshore was pumping!
We checked out a few spots and they were absolutely tiny.

We headed north to a few beaches, and we realized somewhere must be going off, as there are lots of lines, just none breaking. We made another two stops at known Point Breaks and found it to be breaking. Nothing epic, but good fun for a day like this. Good to do some exploring, It always pays off :)

How the bodyboarding changed my life... #Learning

How Bodyboarding Changed my Life.  #Learning. Fast forward to May 2008.  A year of learning, being taught and experiencing things have passed since I’ve been introduced to the sport. It involves many good and bad memories (mostly good).  I was still a complete kook, barely knew how to “bottom turn” on a wave but nevertheless I had fun and I was hooked. It definitely was harder for me than many people I know. I remember some guys who started the sport after me, being 100 times better than me after like 5 sessions. Not that it bothered me. I was so focused on having fun, enjoying the ocean, the beautiful scenery and the exploring that I was barely intimidated by anyone or anybody better than me – mostly, since I was a Free-surfer, which means I’m doing it just for fun, where as others was super competitive. By June 2008, I realised that it’s about time to upgrade my equipment. I came across a special of custom boards from Mr. Alistair Taylor – one of the best bod...

Our trip to Timbavati!!

Image
The week I've been looking forward to all holiday have finally arrived - To spend a week with my family and some family friends in the Timbavati Game Reserve.  We decided up front, to spend 1 night in the Kruger National Park, at Lower Sabie to ease the drive to Timbavati. Therefore, we would have to drive to Komatipoort. But in order for us to get to Komatipoort - or at least, to make the drive fairly shorter, we decided to take the route through Swaziland.  Our bags were packed, got our passports ready, paper work done and we were ready to hit the road. 5am, we were on the N2 North Bound in my dad's new Toyota Fortuner! We drove for about 3 and a half hours till we stopped at a service station near Hluhluwe for Petrol and something to eat at the Steers. We also met up with our family friends whom we'll be joining in the Kruger and Timbavati. About another hour's drive further, we finally reached the Swaziland border. From previous experience, we have learned ...
