golf balls are smaller than tennis balls

time is an amazing concept, thanks to our brains being able to accumulate experiences and then over time analyze patterns and dissolve misconceptions about what we perceive as reality we are able to appreciated the complexity of life.............

one of the reasons this blog ceased to exist temporarily was a feeling, a feeling that a blog inhibits creative freedom, so i wanted to do a magazine instead, but the south african bodyboarding industry is fucked and im not gonna crawl up asses of the ignorant to enable me to spread the stoke, on this blog i can write people off and give props to those who deserve it......................

no beating around the bush,

for the last two months i have been on the road exhausting my savings account, just cruising, no goal, just abusing the ability to be able to perceive the environment i find myself in, nothing matters, death will absorb all, it is what you and i share, fronton we love you............

travelling makes you free, old bonds are shattered and new ones formed.........
staying in one place enables to delve deeper into certain facets of life, allowing a different form of freedom...........

life is a contradiction...........

**************************************************************

It's been a while since I've made a post, but seeing as I can't sleep I thought I'd give it a bang. There has been a whole lot going on in our camp and once some of it becomes available to the mainstream it sure to blow minds. More recently we (Cobus, myself, Beyers and Johno) went to the wild West Coast for a few weeks all in the name of exploring and seeing if there is anything worthwhile to plunder and raid. It was by no means a easy ride, but it was pretty solid and there does seem to be the odd moments of oceanic potential up there. We will probably start filtering some photo's through from the trip in the coming weeks, it was defnitely not the most wave rich experience ever but we did manage some sessions.

One of the most unsatisfying things (of the trip) are the damned diamond areas. I've never been big on the whole patriotic thing, but it really bums a man out when there are vast stretches of really lucrative coastline behind endless lines of fences and barb wire that you can't access. This causes a whole mental dilemma when your standing beside the road looking at a amazing headland 5K's away and you know there is no way to get there. You/we are in a way being denied access to vast pieces of our own country's coastline, which is pretty shit. Don't buy diamonds people! Think it's time to go East Coast, no diamond mines there right? (Plus there is that sexy wave that's featuring lots in the ZigZag at the moment)

me and the chauffeur playing with the shadows

housten was also there getting his scoop on before he leaves for the world down under

adam : dont need to be able to drive a car to cruise on the boog

he did a little jump cutty for this shot , no spray



beyers on the smallest wave i have seen him ride in a long time
o the joy

now for the funny part , we get back to stellenbosch and only have R23 between us

so the chauffeur tells the guy , R23 diesel plse

the guy does his job and we pay him

this is what followed

guy : NO , more money

chauffeur : what you mean more money ?

i told you R23

guy : NO , R320

chauffeur : what the fuck you mean , how the fuck ?

this went on for 20min

then we had to wait for them to pump the diesel out

eye of thee beholder

a friend and great photog Damon Crawford sent me these images to use (after i approached him about a certain sesheon from last year, big ramps and even bigger boosting went up).

i got more than i asked for and i am elated about that, so follow these footsteps to the first Boom!!

i wonder to who these footsteps belong, maybe to the one below trying to cover his trails by taking to the air and busting in to over rotation

spex spinnig of his axis

and jerry oozing the disease from the above mentioned sesheon

round and round

we go

the weekend past was the cape classic showdown and made for some entertaining boogie heats, the conditions went from good to bad to good again, which made for a hotly contested final, this is the only image from the contest, the camera god stole the rest, bastard

the baboons also joined the fun and robbed some unexpecting homo sapians of there belongings, main culprit pictured

after the victor (mark watts) received his reward , plans where made to move up the coast to xplore new pastures, all i will say is that the grass is not always greener on the other side, so after much deliberation around the camp fire with the moon rising in the back ground the desicion was made

back track to where the grass is already green, images and words to follow soon

Changeling.

Evening. I have had two weird-ass days before today, today was filled with peacefull studying and nurturing a mild hangover. There should be some cool photo's popping up soon and they'll be getting their asses tagged by that ugly rainbow coloured thingy you see on the current ones. For some reason blogger shuts me down whenever I want it to so that you can click on images for higher res ones, now you just click on the lime green link.

All of the photo's come from RAW, so if you feel like having a poster made for you, drop a e-mail at either tiaankriegler@gmail.com or cobozz@gmail.com and we'll see what's crackin.
