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:

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.

Okay, I should get an award for worst blogger ever...
I can't even come up with a valid excuse for why I never update this thing. haha.

I'm in Hawaii right now, and it's beeeautiful! I'm here for the next month, so hopefully I'll find time in the next few days to update this poor little blog and throw on some photos of the last month in California :)

copaaa copaaa cabanaaaa

Rio, I LOVE YOU. You are amazing!

I've only been here for 2 days, but i'm in love with this place. I wish I was a gazillionaire so I could come here on holiday every 2 months. Everything is so colourful, and there's so many people - not in a overly crowded way, but more of a festive way with so much movement everywhere. This place is beeeautiful.
Here's just a few photo's from day 1. Rug and I just cruised around for most of the day, and had a little surf too. Ohh my word and I witnessed the most amazing sunset I've ever ever seen! Okkk no more typing, you can just see photos :)

 cruising around.

 There are so many of these little beach bars - they're everywhere!

 Favela's just up the road.

 Pina colada's at copacobanaaaa!

 Sugarloaf mountain in the background - I want to go there sometime this week :) I got told that I can't leave without going up there.

 walking back to our hotel.

 The start of a beautiful sunset.

 Rudy's holding a drawing that some random guy did of us while we were at the beach bar. His drawings are so good, and he does them in like 5 minutes.

 My favourite!

 I fell in love.

 Our hotel room.

 The best police station ever. ha

 I can't get over the pavements/floors in this place. Pretty much every road in Rio is made up of these mosaics. It must've taken forrreeevverrr!

My first time having Acai :)

oooh and here's a pretty video too:

Ok so that was day 1 and 2, I'll try update this blog everyday, but I'm a little bit backwards. My photo's usually go on facebook before my blog, because its waay easier. I think I need to switch those around though.. oooh and here's a pretty video too

Yeowww, ok more photo's soon!
