Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: The Glory Days of Rink Street Surf shops - Ocean's: Ocean’s was PE’s first suburban surf shop, opening its doors in the Kine Park Centre in Rink Street in Sept 1979.

Baakens Valley graffiti by Joff – Featured Blog
Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: Baakens Valley graffiti by Joff: Joff's latest piece of graffiti down in the lower Baakens Valley literally has the whole city talking. It even made television news the other day. Last week I posted this picture on Instagram and a number of people have shared it via Facebook. I really hope we'll start to see a lot more of this kind of art around like they have done up on Johannesburg. It really encourages urban … [Read more...] about Baakens Valley graffiti by Joff – Featured Blog
The week that was…. – Featured Blog
Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: The week that was....: © Robie Irlam Even as we approach mid-winter the spell of kiff weather continues. Plenty windless days (with no swell in the bay) and a few pomping days (with swell - but chowed up by the wind). Thursday and Sunday were the pick of the week. Bit breezy on Thursday, but some waves around before the high tide killed em off a bit in the arvo. Sunday saw a combo of great weather and really fun … [Read more...] about The week that was…. – Featured Blog

What is Jukskei? – Featured Blog
Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: What is Jukskei?: A couple of months ago on a road trip to Johannesburg I detoured through the town of Kroonstad in the Northern Free State to stretch my legs and... well... you know... find a geocache or two. One of the caches I was after is located at a holiday resort called Jukskei Park and on arrival I found cars parked everywhere. The resort plays host to the South African Jukskei Championships every year and I picked … [Read more...] about What is Jukskei? – Featured Blog

Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: The week that was...: © AVG Winter finally arrived - and so did the swell.
