Happy Easter

Sorry for bit of delay in posting on my blog, i've been pretty busy but that's no excuse. And happy Easter to everyone who celebrates this special day! SInce my last Post, Flew out to Tasmania for the first stop on the Oneill Cold Water Series, but that event didn't turn out to be too good for me. A simple mistake cost me the heat, better not make the same mistake twice. I ended up heading over to Melbourne on my way home and Stayed with Seth Hulley for two days. He took me to the Formula 1 Grand Prix again, what an awesome experience, seriously those cars go that fast!!!! And the sound is out of this world! Good times and good memories.
I'm back in SA now, flying out on Friday to Scotland for the 2nd stop of the Cold water series. Apparently there were ice blocks flowing down the river the other day into one of the surf spots of the event in Thurso, with a huge snow storm that just passed through Scotland recently, it's safe to say we'll probably freeze our asses off. Glad I have some 5mm wetties on hand to help ease the pain. One thing i do love about Scotland is that it's pretty raw there, a lot of slabs, a unique experience in all!
Just added a pic from the side lines of the F1 in Oz...
Catch you later.

Harlow Grace Weare

Yip, big day yesterday, my second daughter came into the world at 13:02 , weighing in at 2.9 kgs. What an emotional experience! Absolutely beautiful, she might have more of the mom in her than me, but she has my nose, that's for sure! Unfortunately, she's had to be admitted to ICU as her lungs have fluid on them and aren't fully developed yet but we are praying she has a fast recovery and is 100% in no time. Heavy times though, to see something so small and having to be on tubes and connected to monitors, pretty heavy stuff, but we are staying positive and are confident she will be better soon.

Went and got my daughter's name tattooed yesterday about 4 hrs after she was born, pretty damn proud to have each of my daughters names on my arms!!!!

Heard I've missed waves the last two days at the piers but I don't care, seeing your child being born is better than any barrel can feel!

Peace

Davey Weare - Durban Summer Bowls- Part 2

Single Fin

Just picked up my new 6'3 single Fin from Bilt yesterday, the thing is nuts! Elton really did a good job on it... Now just need some six ft barrels to try it out in!!!

March 2nd

Here's a pic I got this morning at North Beach, shot by Mike Van Heerden. There were a couple fun peaks around, off shore winds, not too many guys in the water, warm water, all in all a pretty good combo. We are pretty damn lucky at how uncrowded our surf is here in SA compared to say Brazil , the States or Oz. Any ways, enjoy it while you can and have fun and respect the ocean!
Peace out

Durban Summer Bowls

Hot as Hell!

For everyone living in Durban at this moment, they know it's been unbelievably hot and pretty small waves. We've been fortunate , at least, that there have been one or two bowl waves around to please the appetite slightly but we are in need of some swell. I think we've only had a one slight cyclone swell to hit the coast here this year, and usually by now we would've had a few more. No sure if it's El Nino, global warming or what but things are changing. The Northern Hemisphere and especially the Pacific have had the craziest run of swell recently starting from around the beginning of December until now. Granted it's been their winter time so hopefully that means we're in for a solid winter. Surfing this morning, I was just looking at all the construction going on around North Beach and once they've got it all fixed up and the pipes are pumping sand out of the piers, we really could be in for some crazy times. Only time will tell but I'm super excited. Sand pumping can only be a good thing especially with the lack of sand on the banks right now, bring it on!

I'm still in the country for just over 3 more weeks, new baby due in just over 2 weeks time. Pretty crazy times ahead but looking forward to it!!! Next event up for me is Tasmania, 1st event of the Oneill Coldwater Classic series. Going to be meeting up with Shaun Gossmann and Royden Bryson. This will be my first time to Tasmania, really like the fact that I'm still going to new places after being on tour for this long. But before then , Oakley are having a launch party down in Cape Town on the 4th March which i'll be flying to for the night, they always put on a good show!

Will be posting up some new footage soon from this last week of surfing , some pretty small waves stuff but it's what we've had the last few weeks.

Cheers
