A right windy place!!

The season in SA has kicked off in some style, we've been really lucky and had a lot of days sailing with some good swells too. I think we sailed about 10 days in the last 2 weeks which is pretty good! add to that the fact that i think the biggest size sail i've used so far is a 4.5!
Trips up to Swartriet (shots above) when conditions have been less than ideal back in Cape Town means we've scored pretty much the best sessions possible this year. On this particular occasion i'm riding my 4.2 Manic and my 74 Quad wave which is just incredible..

Timo made a flying a visit because the forecast has been so good.
(Gaastra team mate - Ross Williams - Cape Point)
Roscoe's made the journey to Cape Town again to come and practice his port tack sailing, he's been following my lead on where's best to be sailing and he certainly seems to be ripping, a nice little air here in front of me at Cape Point.
(Whitsand)
I've had the Go Pro out on one occasion too, we had a jumping session at Whitsand and this is me mid forward loop.
In general i have to say in terms of people it's a pretty quiet season on the beaches, maybe the economic situation is having an affect on tourism out here? i suspect not that much, and after new year all the italians will arrive and the place will feel busy again
As if i needed a reminder of what i'm missing out on and the fact that i really need to make the most of the days i get here, i was sent these reminders!
