Multitasking and all that stuff

Bruce Gold, Scooter Girl and Timothy van JaarsveldMy goodness. Been doing lots of work on the new Wavescape.co.za lately, and also worked thourgh bronchitis and a migty tummy bug a week later like heaps of other people in J-Bay.

Inbetween I did catch a moment to hang out with Bruce Gold and record some interviews and things and this morning we even got up at sunrise to get some footage of him surfing. I think this was his third surf since he had the shoulder op. We were cutting it pretty fine, because I had a meeting at 9'O on a farm outside J-Bay. Looking at the charts, this was our only chance in a while to make it happen.

Needless to say, we were successful and we nailed the footage we wanted. J-Bay delivered the shiny glassy backlit morning conditions, with a nice wave!

I noticed Bruce had a bit of a sad look in they eye early on, because his beloved Chinese Princess, Scooter Girl, went missing yesterday at Supertubes. If you have maybe seen her or maybe have her with you, please contact me. Scooter is just as much a celeb as Bruce himself these days, and it would break my heart (and I'm sure Bruce's) if anything would happen to ol Scooter Girl.

Watch this space for the link to the video once it's done! Frothing for a surf myself, but there are no waves left and I don't have time. Hopefully next week?!

 

Some news from the homefront

Thanks, I did notice the cam was down since yesterday eve. I fixed it already and am just wating for it to propogate to the main server.

I made a turn at Supers just now, and a light onshore kicked in. One foot waves on the rocks at best, and I saw another guy snorkeling.

I was chilling a bit with legend and friend, Bruce Gold last Friday, and we did the full tour. You know, planned to see each other for 30 minutes and end up spending the greater part of the day visiting various people, printing some DVD's and also filming a couple of interviews. Scooter girl (his dog) is doing quite well, and she enjoyed a liver patty with Bruce among things.

Just realized again how important my health is and that it is the most important asset I have. After being sick for yet another week of my life, I am beginning to feel normal again and am very amped to get back in the water. I'll see you there...

Some updates of January and Feb

Some of you may have seen me sneaking around the Eastern Cape and Garden route during the last two weeks of January, stalking a bunch of oddly dressed, injured and overly tired looking students. I have in fact been filming a documentary of the Surfmasters, VMC and DMC students while on Orientation as they call it. (Basically an army style bootcamp, except for the guns but complete with tar poles, barrels, backpacks and tires. Add a dash of PT sessions in the dunes and walking distances like from Kabeljouws to St. Francis in one day and not taking baths for extended periods of time and then you get the idea. ) The movie will be released in March 2010 and there is definately some interesting footage in there.

   

Thumbnails Supers 16 Jan 2010

I only took photos for about 30 minutes during the morning just after I surfed, but here is the thumbnail dump.

Remember pics in video are compressed for space, but your pics will be available in Full frame 10mpxl and they all look crisp and clear.
