Tetris saves the world

I feel like I've spent the last week acting like a 5 year old and using boards as colouring books. I think I might have to start renting my Posca pens soon...

Tetris taking over - My pretty new toy

Marcus' mexican Star Wars (I wish I was the genius who created them, but I'm not. I just stole them)

Rudy's new boards

Whyyy is Cape Town so cold! I'm sitting at home in durban now, and its 25 degrees and I'm getting cold just thinking about it. haha.

I made my way back to the Cape Town side of the world for the second time this month. I stayed with my wonderful little friends, Tarryn and Cameron in their cute little flat in town.

Wednesday:

Tarryn and Heidi make cookies (Heidi burns them).

We found out at the opening function that the girls won't be surfing until Friday.

Thursday:

Went to long beach with Nikita and Tarryn to support our teams. KZN yeeewww.

Friday:

Coldest, windiest, rainiest (I'm making up words, it was that bad) day of the year - of course the girls are surfing. haha. The water at Long Beach was warmer than the air, so I didn't mind getting into my wetsuit too much.. Surfed a few heats at small long beach, and made it into semis :)

Saturday:

The sun came out, yaay! ha. I sat on the beach for most of the day, taking advantage of the fact that I only had to wear one jacket for a change. ha. I didn't have to surf any heats so I watched the KZN boys surf, and then watched a pretty sunset before I made my way to Fishermans with a few people to watch some old family garage band sing cover songs. I enjoyed it, I think.

Sunday:

Tarryn and I made out way to Misty Cliffs for the contest because Long Beach wasn't breaking. I was nervous to surf my heat because I had a pretty hard heat with Tanika and Holly, and Misty's was looking a bit scary. ha. The waves turned out to be pretty fun, and the water was warm! I got a few decent waves and came 2nd and made it to the finals. Jeeees, the final was one of the most intense finals I've surfed in a long time. It was so close but I was lucky enough to get a few fun ones and I won the u20 girls! Yeeewww, Happy happy female. Its my first S.A title ever :) Sat on the  beach and watched a few more heats and Tarryn's final before we went to Fishermans for prize giving. Ooooh and KZN came 2nd overall. Western Province is still yet to lose at home. gah. One day. hahah.

Monday:

Back home to sunshine, warm water and a pretty new board to draw on!

I made the mistake again of not taking my camera to the beach. ha. ooops. So here's some more stolen photo's:

Home

Home again! I love this place :)

Happy to be home, not so happy with the huge list of things I have to get done! I have a feeling the next few weeks are going to be busy ones...Oooh but I have a new board coming which is going to be beeeautiful, and Rudy is back for a month, yeeww! :)

Anyway, here's a random photo. This is supposed to be a photoblog. haha. Stop typing.

This jumped on me at Scottburgh. Not impressed. haha.

It's my biiirthdaaayyy!

Last year for my 18th I celebrated my birthday over a birthweek. This year I upgraded that to a birthmonth. Splashy Fen, Scarfini Pro, cool concerts, bluff braais - I've had so many amazing days with my family and friends. Thanks everyone! :)

Scarfini Pro 2012

A mixture of tension and excitement has been building up for weeks awaiting the 7* Scarfini Pro contest on the Bluff, with some of the worlds top athletes competing for the title of the Scarfini Pro Champion.This is a mobile event, so weather depending, it takes place at the either Anstey's Beach or the Scarfini Household. The event contains a mixture of dressing up, playing weird drinking games, doing some form of olympic aqua aerobics, trying our best not to drown when we "surf", traumatising every single other person on the beach with our ridiculous antics, and then a whole bunch of other disgustingly beautiful chaotic moments. We were all winners in our hearts.
