This is part 4 of all time and deals with a still pic (below), that Brucifire sent me to archive. And so I asked him a few questions about it…

Turns out to an important and fleeting time in history. But I had got it all wrong! Brucifire was not on the cover of Surf Africa. No! Bruce was inadvertently (without advertising), impersonating the real culprit! Mr. Mike Esposito!

The story goes…

Play the movie!

And that’s that!

The final segment of the Brucifire Surf Report for February 2021.

The Brucifire Surf Report for Feb 2021 Part 3

The Brucifire Surf Report Part 3! If you landed here by search engine, rather use this link to go back to Part 1. After threatening for decades, it’s finally here. Live sometimes and otherwise on-demand on the digital airwaves. On YouTube!

The Brucifire Surf Report Feb 2021 Part 3 is all about the surf. A few sessions strung together with some Bruce commentary – with a little help from his friends of course. Goofrey in the background can be heard clearly! There is a starfish in the mix.

One or two waves filmed at a distance, but soon we gone get Brucifire rigged up with a tripod for his iPad and then we gonna see some good close up and personal supertubes stuff.

There is a reference to the evergreen Stevo Neelo who got bust catching waves in the morning (R2000), during the lockdown, and was back out ripping it up in the very same afternoon!

But ok, this little four-part series will act as the harbinger for the future as Bruce and I get our proverbial act together. These surf reports promise to be a lot of fun and hopefully will raise a few heckles, and sheckles!

From now there shall be even more of…a little history and not so much nostalgia, some superstition, commentary on waves and their masters, and most of all, good solid life advice from Brucifire. Not to be ignored!

The Brucifire Surf Report for Feb 2021 Part 2

The Brucifire Surf Report Part 2! After threatening for decades, it’s finally here. Live sometimes and otherwise on-demand on the digital airwaves. On YouTube!

This is part 2 of all time and deals with this pic, that Brucifire sent me to archive. Go back to Part 1 HERE, in case you landed here by search engine.

And so I asked him a few questions about the mystery pic.

Well I never! Confusion can be a great thing! Look how it unfolded this classic front cover of… Remains to be seen! Well, I really thought that somehow, Brucifire had slipped himself onto the cover of an African Surfer magazine! But alas not! He was self-admittedly impostering! Actually, it turns out, that Brucifire was making peanut butter! For his cereal. And his coffee! Yip! Bruce puts peanut butter in his coffee! I can’t wait to not try! But, the story unfolds, Bruce goes to town to reveal the true cover gracer of that African Surfer piece of class. And! Somewhat more! Remains to be Seen! To those who don’t know, this is the Brucifire archive. And everybody is close by. Real close, as the stories unravel. In technicolour. But ok, are you are on the right page? Or should you be on this page? The main playlist that untells the story, by Brucifire. None other.

Turns out to an important and fleeting time in history. But I had got it all wrong! Brucifire was not on the cover of Surf Africa. No! Bruce was inadvertently (without advertising), sitting right on top of the real culprit! Mr. Mike Esposito!

The story goes…

Play the movie!

From now there shall be even more of…a little history and not so much nostalgia, some superstition, commentary on waves and their masters, and most of all, good solid life advice from Brucifire. Not to be ignored!

Barra breaks again – Feb 2021

Barra breaks again – this past few days and weeks has seen some wild wet season weather patterns that are typical of a February around Southern Africa.

Boisterous! February is actually the source of a tonne of swell. The only thing is that it goes in all directions!? And when the stars line up for surfers, this happens at the miles-long sandspit that is Barra.

The video below features a few clips shot by Lalaland Africa’s Chad Leavitt. Who never misses these swells. Luckily he lives there hey?

Anyway, a previous video I posted of Barra, created quite a scene way back when. It was actually one of my top-performing videos and many comments went along the lines of – “Hey man if you show people this stuff you gonna get crowds”. Type thing. I just have to laugh because even if you drop a few hundred good surfers on this miles long lineup, they will all get barrelled. And worked. It is a very difficult place to surf as it gets bigger. At 6 to 8 ft there are atom bombs exploding on the sand. The place has a current flying down it at a huge rate of knots. You can hardly walk in the shallows from it. Many of the waves closeout. It is such a long walk back to the top. Can take 20 minutes or more.

But it’s the manageable days that really count. When the sun is blazing. Blue Mozam skies. And it’s like 4 ft and everyone manages to get out. These are the days. Where on one of my many runs back up to the top, I pass surfers, my mates, lying in puddles of exhaustion. Moaning at their punishment. As perfect wave after perfect wave run by unchallenged by anyone. Yes Dave and Aladinho, I am talking about you guys!

Lalaland Africa

Chad Leavitt, who secreted these pics and video to us, runs the enchanted Lalaland, on the beach, across at Tofo. Where he has his very own set of waves, spread out in front of his place. They even have names! But if you get yourself all that way up there, get in touch and let’s see if we can get you into Lalaland. Very reasonable and really a perfect hideaway. With your very own waves!

You can find your way to Lalaland online on The Sardine News, under accommodation.
