Beach Bonfire

Hi there!

I've been crazy busy. My school does this exchange program every year where either we host some students from England, or we go there. Right now I'm hosting Tim. And it's loads of fun. I'm hoping to go over there next year. I've taken him to hang out at my friend's beach house and to beach bonfires. 

Today all the English kids and their hosts went to the beach and the waves were massive. There were huge barrels, it was amazing to watch. There were a few of my guy friends surfing but they're crazy. At least they can duckdive.

It's a lot of fun to have him here but the downside is, I couldn't go surfing last weekend. I will be going on Sunday though. Yay! And this time I will get photos of me standing up.The waves are supposed to be amazing because of the cyclone in Mozambique.

I think I'll be ready for a short board by June, so I'm going to ask my parents for a 6 ft for my birthday. Then I'll learn how to duckdive. I'm finding out where the best place to buy a board is and what kind of board to get. 

More Surfing Buddies

Thaila, Rachel and I went down to Durban this morning with two new friends; Lita (middle) and Ciara (right). It was a very good day. Today was perfect for catching open face waves. Dion helped Lita and Ciara, but he gave them stand-up boards to use instead of surfboards. I caught lots of open facies. Rachel and Thaila lent their boards to Ciara and Lita for a bit, when Dion had left. It was a very tiring day. We stayed in the water for about 3 hours.

I saw Colleen, Ariane and Christina there. Colleen is my friend from when I went surfing on my own a while back. Ariane is my dad's friend's daughter, who I introduced to surfing. Christina is my friend that I met when Dion gave me my first or second lesson.
