The week that was…. – Featured Blog

12 September 2016 By Port Elizabethan

Today’s posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger:

The week that was….:

The waves seem to have gone into hiding since the advent of Spring. A really slow week inside the bay, and not even a helluva lot happening if you went driving round the corner or down the freeway. Plenty of grumpy ou’s around due to lack of salt water injections.

Small surf can do your head in. Sometimes even to the point when you suddenly throw caution to the wind and head out at the Pipe rocking your Speedo. Brett showing he ain’t scared!

No waves means any excuse for the guys to have a sluk. CarPark John doesn’t only have his own beer thanks to the BeerShack – he even has his own customised draught tap. That’s when you know you’ve made it big!

Brendan Basset has been using his time wisely – no surf, no problem – he got down to making an epic looking sustainable surfboard. It’s made from flax fiber and bio-epoxy and has Scarfini Fins outta bamboo/cork/hemp. Keep an eye out for it in the surf.

No waves for the local photag’s to shoot so they had to make do with rocks instead. Turns out there are some wanna be Picasso’s on the wildside that have had a bash at rock-painting. Probably not gonna go down in history quite like Bushman paintings did….

The annual Vic Bay Quad in memory of John Pfaff went down in some solid surf over the weekend. Will get some results up soon.

We may not have had much in the way of waves, but at least we can still count on some pretty sunsets to round out the week! Charts not looking all that flash for this week either, so either bust out that skateboard, or take up tiddlywinks.
