Time to chill at home...
29-2-2008, Home, the Netherlands
I had a great couple of months in South Africa. I was there since the
4th of December. Lots of stuff happened lots of training, we had some
epic riding days. I fully enjoyed every session with South Africa's
strong winds and nice waves.
Moves were pulled hardest possible. Some horrific wipe-outs came with...Seeing your kite stall in front of you while you 8 meters up isn't always nice...But it's the risk factor you take when pulling your moves that makes it fun and keeps you sharp.
Always eager for more after learning and landing new tricks.
I was staying in Table View which is about 20 minutes from Cape Town city center. Table View's nice, pretty mellow...I didn't get bored once, you can go surf when no wind or just hang with some friends. The parties in Cape Town also kept it interesting...
*Highlights:
-42 double Spiced Gold and coke between the 4 of us. (before going out, while having dinner)
-Passing out next to the car in the parking lot till others were done partying!
-NYE-no-comments!
-Buying a pigshead in the supermarket
-Motor rider folded wrong way around looking at his heels while laying on his stomach. (Horrific accident, happens a lot in SA)
-This bru telling us: Don't say no, before you know the price! Special price for you my brother from another mother.
A lot of stuff was cool, i just had an awesome time and some good training. So i'm stoked to kick off the new season full of travels, photoshoots, filming, partying, meeting people and riding hard to promote our sport in a good way. Hopefully we finally get some stuff on the television. That would be sick!
Alright take it easy,
