Bloodscan contest - Jbay

 I flew to P.E the day after my real birthday to surf the Bloodscan/Industry Cup event in Jbay. It was my first contest of the year so I was really excited but nervous at the same time. We didn't get any good waves for the contest - actually the waves were non-existent, ha. Despite the tiny waves everyone was surfing really well. I had Tanika and Holly in most of my heats throughout the event. I made it to the u20 girls final with Tanika Hoffman, Emma Smith and Gina Smith. I got a 2nd and I'm happy, it's a cool way to end off my birthmonth celebrations :) Well done to Tank for winning! :) Thanks to Bloodscan for such a cool event. I hope theres another one next year! It was also nice seeing and hanging out with my friends that I don't see too often except for at contests.

I decided to go to Cape Town for a few days after Jbay. I did a mini roadtrip back to CT with Chris Bond and Ashley. I didn't get to surf too often, the waves were pretty terrible expect for my one surf at Dunes with Mikey Feb, Josh Salie and Mr Bond. I had a cool time in CT, I acted like a tourist a few times. I'm going back again soon for S.A senior champs! Hopefully theres actual waves! hah :)

I wish I took more photo's in Jbay, but anyway here's a few photo's - Some are mine, some I stole:

Raaa Raaaa

I went on a 2 month roadtrip with my parents around our pretty country. It was amazing! I had 3 contests to surf, so we just made a roadtrip out of it.

Here's a slideshow with some of the pics. It's all backwards though! The rest are on facebook :



We started in East London for the Mr Price Open, then made our way to Knysna. I got a 3rd in the Billabong Pro Junior in Vic Bay. My parents camped in Buffels Bay while I was in Vic Bay. From Knysna we went to Mcgregor and Robertson, it was nice to go inland for a change. Mcgregor is the cutest little town ever - and it really is little. It took us about 15 minutes to walk through the whole town!
We spent a few days in Mouille Point in Cape Town so I could see my frrrriiieeennddd... He's nice :) ha.

We'd never been to the West Coast, and we stayed in Elands Bay for 12 days before we had to go back to Kommetjie for S.A Champs... Elands is amazing! That left is so fun, but I don't think I'd like to live there until i'm about 72. I don't think there is anything to do there if you're under the age of 40 and don't surf or take pictures. Or knit or something.
We had really good waves for the first two days while we were there, with just a few of us out. And then the S.A team came out of nowhere just to form an instant crowd. yay. haha. It was cool surfing with my friends though..

Back to Kommetjie for S.A's. Really fun week! I got a second in the u17 girls, and Sarah Baum won. I think we all should've just slept at the British Bulldog we spent so much time there! hahah.

Took the loooong drive to jbay the day after S.A's. My friend, mr Ty came to visit again.. oooh and my husband Morag who I hadnt seen in ages! Didn't really get waves in jbay, and it rained for like a whole week. haha.

Longest post EVER. I'm becoming a big girl!

Anyway, the roadtrip was wonderful! Thanks Parentals!
Peace and Heart

It's only embarrassing if you care what people think

I just found the CD that my forehead caught so nicely in the crowd at Splashy Fen. They threw them out from the stage and it collided with my forehead and bounced off onto the floor. Some guy thought he was clever and would take it. Lets get serial guy - I (accidentally) sacrificed my forehead for that cd, so I’m sorry I tackled you. I win. The band is called Good Luck. They're quite cool. Sound a bit like Goldfish. I wrote the next part yesterday. It might all be mixed up. Have fun trying to make sense of that.

I’m playing in Jbay right now. Listening to music and trying to fix photos,sitting on a balcony watching someone, who I think might be Taj, paddle out at Supers. I would be sure of who it is if I didn't have the eyes of a 64 year old.I almost thought there would be waves today. Been hanging out with Tanika and the surf unit people. 

They’re driving from Port St Johns tomorrow. After the house was demolished, they all got in this beautiful contraption and headed down to jbay. 

Heidi is currently in J bay.

Yeeeeew.
