J’Bay summer waves…….a rare treat !!
2nd Summer
“Living” in two different countries on either side of the Equator means I get to enjoy more than one summer a year at “home”. We have been blessed with some of the best waves and weather in years. It’s so good to surf my home-break with some of my closest friends. I couldn’t ask for too much more!

Thanks for the photos, Darrol Staples…the Braai king of the world.
It’s All Happening Durban
Chris Leppan, Myself, Matt Hewitt, Dale Staples and Matt Bromley at the SA Surfing Awards. Thanks to Zigzag for an amazing night and congrats to all the winners!
Red Bull x Jordy Smith Nighshift at Northbeach. Flood lights were set up and all the boys were getting whipped in at night. It was pretty crazy to surf in front of such a huge crowd at nigh! Hope I get the chance to do it again next year. Pics by Kolesky.
Last, but not least the Mr Price Pro is on at Ballito. They have only done 9 heats of Rd1 so far, but hopefully the waves pick up and we can get amongst it!!
Indo…
Just got back from an Indo trip with Garret Parkes, Davey Cathels, Caio Ibelli, Thomas Woods, Keanu Asing and Kai Hing aboard the Mangalui. Also photog Swilly, vidoegrapher Shagga and writer Ben Whitmore. Lots of sick times were had! Fun waves! Ice-cold Bintangs! Funny stories! And the worlds greatest sunsets!
Story time…….
Home, “klippies en Cola”, braai, “black label”, friends…..talking story, life is good !!
Californian?
Does this make me a legitimate Californian? I don’t know. At least my car now belongs to me, which makes me feel grown up. Frothing nonetheless….

The boys are in town, the waves are fun and everyone is ripping! Stoked to be a part of all the mayhem!
Africa……by Jaap Wildeboer
When living in Africa, you don’t always appreciate the wildlife. Good friend Jaap Wildeboer decided to combine his “aimlessly driving around” and “South African Nature Reserves visit” hobbies into animal photography – check out this small selection of his amazing photos.
Freemantle, Perth for a day
The waves were terrible and we had a late night flight so we decided to check out Freemantle, Perth with Damien Fahrenfort. Good times!!
West Australia Life
The Telstra Drug Aware Pro finished almost a week ago, with John Florence winning, comfortably. I have decided to hang around here, because the waves are sick and I really like it here. I would have to say this is my favourite contest of the year! In other unrelated news, the surfing world has lost one of it’s biggest legends, Michael Peterson. RIP
Burned
Margaret River area has suffered some pretty bad bush fires lately. It makes for really nice photo’s by day and night, but it sucks to see the really pretty landscape all burned down. Hopefully everything goes back to normal!
It’s good to be back.
So good to be back in West Aus. It’s definitely my one of my favourite stops on the tour. Frothing for 2 weeks in this joint!
Oz
Back in Oz for a few comps – so good to surf in boardies again – Cali – she’s cold in winter. This is a photo of Kangaroo Island, South Oz – beautiful place but when we were there late year, the waves were absent.
Bali
Just found these two photo’s from Bali last year. Can’t wait to go back again! Love that joint….
This week
Bought a new car! Super stoked!
My mom came over to the States for a visit. It’s always amazing to spend time with my mom, I don’t get to see her as much as I want.
Matt Bromley stopped over at my spot for a few days on his way home from Hawaii.
Good times….
the other side…Hawaii
When we’re in Hawaii we spend most of our time watching the ocean, checking the swell…the next set…..the next wave, who’s doing what on the wave..etc – of that we have lots of photos, but if you want to check out the “street scene” have a peek at these street photographers sites:
