Aches

Would someone please persuade Ben to get on a plane? Three surfs in two days is just not natural! I'm a one-surf-a-week guy, goddammit. I ache in disturbing places, and it's taking all my concentration to not fall over sideways as I write this.

This last weekend has not been kind to Derdesteen. Friday brought in a cold front, leaving the exposed beach breaks (like Derdesteen) a mess. On Sunday morning I surfed Big Bay, which was a bit sheltered from the worst of the storm excess, while Sunday afternoon Ben and I found some cleaner swell in Table View. Table View can deliver some epic surfs in the right conditions. Sunday wasn't epic, but it was pretty good. Big big waves, but the waves were a bit flat and finding the take off spot was an exercise in hope.

Finally, this morning we went to Long Beach at Kommetjie. Swell was a lot smaller, but what a pleasure to have a predictable take off and lengthy rides. Weather has also improved, so I'm expecting big things from Derdesteen this week!
