New Kiteboarding Video of Cannon Rocks

Hi

Here is a new Video from the left over footage from the last summer (South Hemisphere) in Cannon Rocks.
I edited it while I was in Cape Town. I am now in Europe getting ready for the competition in Belgium on the 27th 28th. Will be blogging about that soon.

Enjoy the vid.

Whales beach themselves on Long Beach Kommetjie… On my Doorstep…

30th of may 2009

I got a text message asking if I’d heard about the whales…  I stepped outside and found Chaos on the beach. I commend all the people that got in the water with their wetsuits to try and rescue the whales. (50 or so Pilot whales had beached themselves early in the morning). By the time I got to the beach an air of hysteria had swept in. I don’t understand why people would bring their families and their dogs on the beach… Didn’t know death was such a show. Anyway, here are the pictures I took.

It was a tragic day…

Hopefully a better post next time.

First real winter storm in Cape Town

Woke up with the beating rain against my window and the temperature down by more than a bit. The buzz was out amongst the tow in crew… 9m swell. And to get 9 meter swell you need wind!

The Saturday delivered a squally bit intense session (Small kite) and look out for the gusts.  Here is a picture of Long beach

The waves started pounding last night… Unfortunatly today, the wind is on the light side and from experience, I avoid being out in large surf with dodgy winds. This what the beach looked like this morning:

Long Beach after the wind

Tomorrow another smaller front…. maybe.

Catch you later.
