Latest tat



Just had some more work done on my arm yesterday, finally got myself a full sleeve now. Had Gavin from Electric Eye in Umhlanga carry on from where he left off with my last tattoo. It was a 2 day sitting, 10 hrs later, sleeved up now!

So I've been home for about a week now, had to mission up to Johannesburg yesterday for the day to get my French (Schengen) visa. It's actually pretty damn crazy how heavy it is getting for South Africans now to travel, we literally need visa's for almost every stop on tour, and the costs involved are pretty high too. Joys of being a Saffa, But the country we live in out ways any visa issues!!!

Going to have a pretty solid schedule over the next few months. Off to Oz the end of next week for about 7 days, going to connect with Gozzy on the Gold Coast, home for about 8 days then a marathon of a trip starts. France for a week, California for a month, back to France for two weeks, Spain for two weeks and then finally Portugal for two weeks. Just short of 3 months, a solid time away but it's a fun itinerary and my family will be joining me in Europe which is great.

Not too much on the cards between now and when I leave for Oz, so peace out for now.

Some JBay Pics...




Just got sent these pics from a US photog, Reg Joiner, doing some charity work in SA and taking some pics in his off time...
So I've been in Jbay for 5 days now, haven't had the best waves so far but it looks like there's a fairly good swell expected for Monday and Tuesday. The bank at Super's is crazy though! The most sand I've ever seen there, kinda feels like you're surfing over a sand bank with just rocks on the beach at the moment. I reckon if we do get a good swell, Supers could be absolutely firing!!!
Good chance you could be getting barreled from just next to the gully in front of Cheron's house to after the carpark section ends....seriously!

We did a surf with the pro's day at the point about 2 days ago with the local surf club and the WPS ( WorldProSurfers.com ). Awesome experience, the kids were stoked, there were like 2/3 ft waves coming through, all and all a good experience and great for the kids. Cause at the end of the day, we were all like them, starting out and just frothing to surf and looking up to the pro's. What's been rad is that the WPS has organized this throughout the world when ever we have World Tour events on and get the local club involved and the pro's spend about 2/3 hrs with the kids, surf with them, sign posters, give advise and it's just a solid cool day.

Off to PE tonight for a Oakley Signing, will try post a pic or two some time too from Jbay. And hopefully we finally get some waves this year on tour, like I said, if the waves comes, we could have all time JBay!

Peace
