Yeeeeah boys! Sorry been a while wrote a few blogs but computer tweaked and was way to lazy to re-write them. Here is a catch-up…
I got back from Scotland and been trying to defrost ever since. The water in Cape Town is like Durban compared to Thurso – the furthest place north U can go in Scotland. We had a couple good waves but it is still shit compared to some of the previous years. One thing that stands out was that it was really awesome to do an event with Shaun Holmes. After a break from the WQS I think he had a bit of an eye opener after seeing how the younger guys are compared to the ‘old days’. All he (Shaun) wants to do was surf – even though it was like 5 degrees. He surfed more then Dan (Redman,  Jacko (Brandon Jackson) and myself, all put together. And maybe that’s why he got the best result of all of us in the Cold Water classic! It would be awesome if he did a few more events because his attitude towards the Tour is great and I think a few of us definitely learnt a few things from that.
On to the chicks! There are a couple of pretty hot girls in Scotland actually. I think on a whole the women of Thurso have stepped up their game BIG-TIME since previous years. They have gone from like three’s to fives (out of 10)! But unless you drive a pimped up Corsa or Mini u have got no chance with them – he he! And back to the waves – Thurso is so full of surf it’s incredible! With-in a twenty-kay stretch there are more different waves then you can imagine. From perfect right beach breaks to firing left slabs that are heavier then most waves you find Hawaii.

Onto the rumor mill… In Scotland, people where confused and thought Dan was a Scottish lad because of his big red beard and rudely pale body – serious! Wok was in Las-Vegas and the rumor has it that Trav’s (Travis Logie’s) wife, Shauna would not let him join in on the gambling fun. I guess married life can be a hard sometimes! Other than that I don’t have many rumors for you guys – but will get some mwhaaa-ha-ha!
So, I am in Bali at the moment doing some exploring. I have been getting perfect waves with just myself and  Roosta out. Today Roosta got a Ten-foot left death pit, and claimed it to the beach. Was definitely worth a claim, he he.  Let’s hope I don’t get fooled into hooking up with a Benchong (transvestite) after a few jungle juices, but by the sounds of it – according to half my South African brazzo surfer mates, ‘it just feels a bit different’ – Ek!
Cool, hope you all getting waves and please stop claiming that week slab in East London, cause Cape Town is about to put it to shame.

Cheers,
Dooma
