Awesome to have two guys I grew up competing with in SA over here having a crack, watch out for them in this event.

Just had this pic sent to me by an old friend. AMAZING!
Filmed by Richard Lornie and Javier Fleitas and edited by Richard Lornie. Features Hawaii 2012 and my new boards! Have a look!
I am so pumped to be back in this iconic bodyboarding zone and even more happy with the weather, fun waves and good company.

Last week Tuesday saw Josh Kleve, Simon Heale, Sacha Specker, Gregg Fraser and myself lucking into some waves at an isolated location.
South Africa
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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Brazil, IBA World Tour
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.

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.

After the Soldiers comp, I hopped on a plane home, for the first time in almost a year ...

Today I have some really good news for you ... I claimed a 2nd behind Damian King at the 2010 Soldiers beach pro, which is the 2nd event on the IBA world tour for 2010.

Hey everyone, writing this in utter excitement, as this post signifies the launch of my new blog in conjunction with SIXTY40.co.za and I have some exciting news to share with you!
Australia, IBA World Tour
Since being back in Australia I have been a pretty busy boy, I have signed a 3 year deal with Turbo Bodyboards which will see me on the world tour and a number of trips over the next few years.
