Jeffreys bay today by Brucifire

Today its overcast n cold 25 out at supers 10 at point..been 50 out at supers on the good day but more good days coming. A few over head sets pulling through. Yes aloes starting to bloom, ferox and capensis. Drama at point with young Sawyer hounding an American Sup friend of mine out the water. He went to police and made a statement but did not press charges. He left town after Ginsberg tuned him to leave it alone. Even Lipshitz got involved and his board has more volume than the sups. Homicide of a youngish whitey knocked that darn hippie onto page five of Our Crimes complaining of traffic, sewerage into the sea, loose dogs crapping everywhere, beach sleepers, hoboes and drunk car guards.there is even a plea in there for a wendy house or old caravan, the old chancer. Couple members of Parkway Drive, big time Aussie band from Byron Bay, in town surfing very well. Maarten van der Velde has the images. Warren Dean still ripping from Boneyards which was originally named Insanitudes by the guys making Ra boards at Shalom overlooking it. Steve sawyer also getting tubed all over the show. Day before yesterday, friday was the most picture perfect medium size Supers of the winter.Here at JBay Surf View us few grumpy old men checking the whole scene with binoculars looking for reasons to not suit up just yet. Larry Levine building a house for Derek Hynde opposite us but has hit rock and jack hammers cant get through. Peace back in the valley.

Brucifire on wave watch: Jbay is cooking

Brucifire on wave watch: Jbay is cooking

Bruce Gold down at Supertubes with a video commentary shot from the office, this morning.

It seems that the reasonably strong and very southerley angled swell has already made it’s way to JBay.

Jeremy Johnson and James Louw are out at Dungeons, where it’s not all time, but rideable.

There are no waves on the south coast just yet, they should arrive there tomorrow.

Nice weekend!

Bruce Gold checking in from JBay

Bruce Gold checking in from JBay

Bruce Gold checking in from JBay. A wintery morning as the swell of last week glides into JBay and sets the town alight. Or not. Actually, the swell was so unruly, the RVCA comp being held this week at Supers, has been summarily postponed until the next swell.

However, if you look at the synopotic chart on thesardine.co.za front page, the next cold front looks as crazy, so don’t hold your breath.

Coming up soon – some big wave surfing on the KZN lower south coast, as the same swell rolls through.

Bruce-I-fire frame grabbed flying thrlough the zone at you-know-where…

And another commentary instalment from Bruce Gold aka “Bruce-I-fire” as the winter swells start rolling in. Looks like JBay squeezed the most out of this little swell – by the time it reached us here on the KZN South Coast it was full of lumps and holes, like something bullied it off the Transkei coastline or something?!

So here’s some wide perspective video coming at you from the office overlooking Supertubes…of this last swell rolling in through the Bay…
