Ebay 3fold Blessing: This is my story, after a nice festive break with family and friends, the new year came, meaning I had to be back at work the 3rd Jan, I was not feeling coming back to reality, after a nice 3ft epic surf Monday morning at Nine Miles where word went around that Elands is going to cook on Wednesday 5th Jan. I came to work the Tuesday, not doing much work but surfing the net and then I saw the charts for myself, Ebay going to go off!!! I put in leave for Wednesdsay which my Sales Manager was reluctant to give, but I then won the tug of war(1st blessing). I knew Ebay was going to be crowded, so me & my friend Leroy aka Piet, Snacks, Raisen left 3:30am to get to Ebay 6:45am and behold 6ft lines coming through with the occasionally 8ft bombs(2nd Blessing) Booties and Hoodies and me & Piet was out there catching those golden carpet rides. Then I had a set wave, which just peeled, only to find out further down the line, a unidentified surfer then dropped in on me, I then kicked out, coming up to the surface, the unidentified surfer was very apologetic for dropping in, I was like cool, then I looked for my board, only to find half...eish, the surfer saw that my board had snapped, coming out the water boogieboarding and swimming at the same time because of the set waves still coming through, this unidentified surfer come out with me, still apologising, at that time I was stoked and bumed at the same time. The surfer then said " I got a hybrid board for you, you can have it, just wait here. Then while he left, all focus was on me on the beach...like what happen man or I saw that..people offering there boards to borrow for a surf, it was so cool to feel the surf community love, but after 15min, the promised word from the unidentified surfer came to pass, and He brought me basically a brand new board, 6'0 Spider Hybrid(3rd Blessing) and a fin key, then he said see you out there and he paddle back out to the line up. I thanked the Lord after that and was just overwelm. I soon found out later, that the unidentified surfer was Will Bendix, editor of the Zag. Will Bendix, bless you my brother, you have a great heart.

Hey Mook, I used to frequent the HYS page back in the day too, in fact BonéZ and myself used to be moderators back then. I used to check in from time to time but it's never been what it used to since those days.

Keep up the awesome work guys, love my ZigZag mags!
But no 2012 calendar with the January issue? Bummer.
And a 'Huisgenoot Superster' calendar just doesn't scream cool, if you know what I mean...

Hope you're well. How's this flippen wind?! Oh wait, you're not from PE...

Just thought I'd add a little fire to the ever-increasing struggle between surfers and dooshbag lifegaurds: Yesterday morning early, a few of us paddled out at just as it went offshore. Keef waves all round until one of the "lifeguards" showed up on a jetski, attempting to usher us from the water - apparently we weren't supposed to be there. But, there were no swimmers out, nor were there any visitors on the beach, as the weather was crummy. Almost from the start, and without warning, this "lifeguard" was rude, demanding that we leave immediately. We requested to stay until swimmers arrive. He would have none of it and began dangerously riding his jetski directly at us, and in amongst us, in an attempt to scare us off.

This went on for some time, and his dangerous antics escalated. I eventually started "biting back" a little, in defence of his behaviour: I'm old enough to be some of these guys' dad, and as a father , my protective instinct kicked in a little. As he kept feigning to ram us, I had to push myself away from his craft on three occasions to avoid going under, or sustaining injury. By this stage, the other guys had caught waves in, which I couldn't do without him barging me with his jetski. Eventually we all got out unscathed, arriving on the beach only to be further heckled by his loud taunts, swearing and "victorious saluting" for winning this great victory: one fat lifeguard on a power trip armed with a great big jetski, against 6 surfers. Nice odds.

Now I know that you have enough whack in the surf world to get things done, but I'm wondering if the limits of your power extend to getting "Bay-watch" dvd's banned from "lifeguard" training, as they seem to incense these inbred donuts (are lifeguards supposed to be so fat?) into thinking that the seas are theirs to rule. Baha.

Let me know what you think
