Features Hawaii 2012 and my new boards! Have a look! http://www.sixty40.co.za/blog/jared-houston/31 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 02:35:41 GMT http://www.sixty40.co.za/blog/jared-houston/31 I am so pumped to be back in this iconic bodyboarding zone and even more happy with the weather, fun waves and good company. http://www.sixty40.co.za/blog/jared-houston/32 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 02:30:22 GMT http://www.sixty40.co.za/blog/jared-houston/32 Last week Tuesday saw Josh Kleve, Simon Heale, Sacha Specker, Gregg Fraser and myself lucking into some waves at an isolated location. http://www.sixty40.co.za/blog/jared-houston/right-of-admission-reserved Tue, 19 Oct 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://www.sixty40.co.za/blog/jared-houston/right-of-admission-reserved Wow, what a week spent up in Durban for SA champs! Was great to see everyone and see that South African bodyboarding is alive and well! Well done to my Boetie for taking out the win he was by far the best rider of the event so a very deserving champion. http://www.sixty40.co.za/blog/jared-houston/next-level Tue, 05 Oct 2010 21:34:32 GMT http://www.sixty40.co.za/blog/jared-houston/next-level So Sintra is over and as Boetie has already written Amaury is the 2010 IBA world Champion. Just getting to be there when he won was the most electrifying thing I have ever experienced and as Ben and I carried him up the beach I couldn't help but fight back tears. http://www.sixty40.co.za/blog/jared-houston/crossing-the-divide Thu, 02 Sep 2010 01:00:00 GMT http://www.sixty40.co.za/blog/jared-houston/crossing-the-divide 1 South African, 10 Australians and a big house full of girls? Not as debaucherous as it sounds, seems everyone is more focussed on the job at hand - the Sintra pro, which looks like it could just be the title decider for 2010. http://www.sixty40.co.za/blog/jared-houston/sintra-2010 Thu, 26 Aug 2010 01:00:00 GMT http://www.sixty40.co.za/blog/jared-houston/sintra-2010 There is something about flying that always makes one's hair look in top form, or at least that's the case with mine. Yes, I am on another metal bird, this time sealed inside for 14 hours non-stop Sydney-Johannesburg after completing my second winter season on the Australian East Coast. http://www.sixty40.co.za/blog/jared-houston/australia-2010 Sat, 14 Aug 2010 20:00:00 GMT http://www.sixty40.co.za/blog/jared-houston/australia-2010 This week I was given the opportunity to give one of the worlds heaviest waves a proper dig. What I experienced over the past 2 days is pretty indescribable but I'll do my best to put Luna Park into words. http://www.sixty40.co.za/blog/jared-houston/a-cold-few-days-in-june Sun, 27 Jun 2010 22:00:00 GMT http://www.sixty40.co.za/blog/jared-houston/a-cold-few-days-in-june Yes I am still alive and since I last wrote, I've travelled through 3 countries, had a few nights out, been inside many barrels and consumed vast amounts of coffee. http://www.sixty40.co.za/blog/jared-houston/contest-chronicles-v1.6 Sat, 19 Jun 2010 22:30:00 GMT http://www.sixty40.co.za/blog/jared-houston/contest-chronicles-v1.6 Frothing on my 3rd place [IBA Peruvian Inka Challenge], but at the same time frustrated as I know I was so close in that Semi with Amaury. http://www.sixty40.co.za/blog/jared-houston/contest-chronicles-v1.5 Mon, 31 May 2010 13:00:00 GMT http://www.sixty40.co.za/blog/jared-houston/contest-chronicles-v1.5 By now you all most likely know that I was elimanted in my round 5 heat against Amaury, Magno and Novy on Thursday [Arica Chilean Challenge], and to tell you the truth I have been putting off writing this blog for a number of days. http://www.sixty40.co.za/blog/jared-houston/chilean-cake-3 Sat, 22 May 2010 20:30:00 GMT http://www.sixty40.co.za/blog/jared-houston/chilean-cake-3 Four slices of cheese cake and 2 days later and not much has happened other than some high performance free surfs and rounds 1-3 which has resulted in my round 4 heat looking like this: Damian King, Jacob Romero, a local shredder and me. http://www.sixty40.co.za/blog/jared-houston/chilean-cake-2 Sun, 16 May 2010 19:15:00 GMT http://www.sixty40.co.za/blog/jared-houston/chilean-cake-2 You have no idea how much cake I have consumed since arriving in Chile. I have totally let loose after just getting over that heinous bug that plagued us in Brazil and am having the time of my life. http://www.sixty40.co.za/blog/jared-houston/chilean-cake Sat, 15 May 2010 11:00:00 GMT http://www.sixty40.co.za/blog/jared-houston/chilean-cake I went down today at the hands of a spanish ripper, Diego Cabrera and a Brazillian Herman Castro. This means I walk away with a joint 17th and 300USD prize money from the Buzios Pro 2010. http://www.sixty40.co.za/blog/jared-houston/contest-chronicles-v1.4-buzios-pro Sat, 08 May 2010 18:00:00 GMT http://www.sixty40.co.za/blog/jared-houston/contest-chronicles-v1.4-buzios-pro What a wild weeks it's been. We left Rio on Tuesday arvo for Buzios, the crew consisting of Kingy, Lilly, Yeray Martinez and me. After almost missing the bus we eventually got on and were on our way to Buzios, a Plett like town 2 hours north of Rio. http://www.sixty40.co.za/blog/jared-houston/contest-chronicles-v1.3-buzios-pro Fri, 07 May 2010 20:00:00 GMT http://www.sixty40.co.za/blog/jared-houston/contest-chronicles-v1.3-buzios-pro Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine Brazil to have waves of this quality, from wedging beachbreaks to shallow, sucky reefbreaks, Brazil really has something for everyone. http://www.sixty40.co.za/blog/jared-houston/cape2rio-ep2 Tue, 04 May 2010 10:00:00 GMT http://www.sixty40.co.za/blog/jared-houston/cape2rio-ep2 After the Soldiers comp, I hopped on a plane home, for the first time in almost a year ... http://www.sixty40.co.za/blog/jared-houston/cape2rio Fri, 30 Apr 2010 10:00:00 GMT http://www.sixty40.co.za/blog/jared-houston/cape2rio Today I have some really good news for you ...
