Bluebottles

I went out to Durban without Rachel and Thaila today (they were busy). Dion was there and he took my mom and I down onto the beach to show us that it was a waste of time. There was an on-shore wind which brought in truck loads of bluebottles.  The waves were choppy and rough. 

My mom and I left. We just drove around Durban for a while. 

Afterwards we started driving home, but took a detour into Umdloti. We drove along the beach looking at the waves. No one was in the water. It looked a bit dodgy. The waves were rough but better than Durban. I decided that I would just go for a swim first to see how rough it was, and if there was a rip, before I took my board in.

It was freezing. Not too rough and no rip, but still a bit sketchy that I'd be the only one in the water. I would have gone out if Rachel and Thaila were with me.  On our way out of Umdloti we passed this adorable little hippy house.

Tea Partaay

A while ago I went to my old friend Mine's (pronounced min-ay's) birthday tea. I met 2 insane surfers. They had just got back from a competition at Jaybay. They're probably really good to be surfing Jaybay. It was cool to meet them. 

Feel like a surfer. Look like a surfer

Today I went to a charity yoga event to support the rhinos. It was very calming. Yoga is very good to learn how to be gentle and relaxed like surfers should be. There were only about 5 men, and i was the youngest person there. 

Afterwards i went shopping for some beachy clothes. While waiting in line to pay, a lady coughed on me. No it's fine, not like ill get TB just because you didn't cover your mouth :/

It's been raining for about a month now but it cleared on Sunday. We went surfing. Dion was there and he gave us another lesson. The sea was really rough so we didn't bother going to backline while we cant duckdive. I always seem to get injured and this time I got cut on my wrist and foot plus a couple of bruises :(

 That's Gaby

Summer nights and surfer love.
