I'm sure you heard some news about a "teenager" that was attacked by a shark in Mozambique and "lost his arm and leg". I can't even remember where I heard it, but I told the story to several people at Supers in the lineup the last two days.

According to the real facts, the guy is in fact 27 years of age and the shark bit him three times. Once on his shoulder, then his hand as he fended it off and then again on his leg before he could make it to shore. He was airlifted to Richards Bay Hospital.

Full report on Zigzag's website.

Sory for spreading the wrong story. It's crazy how rumours can go viral, especially if the facts are wrong.

Supers was lank crowded yesterday and waves were pretty inconsistent, but I did manage to get one proper overhead wave in a 3 hour session! In total I maybe had 5 waves. We are wave starved and keep on getting these reports off epic classic waves somewhere in the St. Francis region which makes us even angrier. So much for not spreading rumours...

Hope you hade a great Chirstmas and that you will have a properous 2010 with heaps of stand up barrels and lines and lines of waves.

See you on the other side.
