    Durban This Week

    Attachment: IMG_0024.jpg
    Looks like we are in for a treat this week - NE forecast for the next 3 days and then Southerly at the end of the week.

    The swell is still here and it is a solid 4 - 6 ft at the moment - and the NE - is picking up quickly - white caps already here in front of the shop! Get on it ...

    Hows this looking ...

    Bru,

    About time cuzzi, i was hanging like crazy, almost a full month without any wind.

    My spot is looking sick and already 4ft and of course nobody else out, showers, cocktail bar, cooking right handers off the pier and even better on the reef at high tide, i love it all to myself.

    I wonder why you guys kite at kitebeach where the wind pulls you off the wave, crowded, no water in the showers and no bottle shop near by ? whats with that *** ?

    Cuzz -

    Max 4 to 5 people on the water today (don't know where evryone is ) - showers all working and swell was solid - 6ft all day - kited up to the mouth with Alwin and Marc this evening - solid 6- 8 ft - and then some ...

    I don't ride toe side - so I was riding up past kitebeach and then riding back on the left facing the wave - lovely jubbly - kited 8m and 10 m - 2 more days of this ... and Thursday it is supposed to be stronger - back in the shop now - ice cold beers from the bottle store next door - Come Alive :)

    Maybe we can pop down and get a session with you in the corner and get filthy @ Moya !! Will speak to you in the morning ...

    Re: Durban This Week

    Got to agree with Bruce there Clint - I was teaching on the beach all day and watching the guys get some smoking waves. SOLID waves on the outside and I saw Brett get some solid waves. Not often that you get lines like that and wind.

    I did manage to sneak an early session in that was well worth it.

    I placed an order for some more of the same tomorrow.
    Cheers Rob

    Rob,

    You sound like JOHN GRIM bro, bigger is always better USA style, hopefully the N/east didn't blow itself out last night as it is firing down here and there are loads of bait fish so hopefully some SHAD come out later.

    Tell CRAIG that bank is back and barrels are the order for the day if the wind comes.

    KERRY got some good footage yesterday

    Hi OLAF,

    We were actually discussing JG the other day in the new OCEAN2AIR shop so i kinda just made a joke as AMERICANS always say bigger is better but i still say id rather surf smaller waves that are lined up better than trying to ride bigger waves which pull you off the face.

    take it easy,
