Well, we have tried this before but were ruthlessly taken out of the sky by arguing IP control freaks. But luckily we are almost caught up with the content lost…the uploading of Shaloha by Bruce Gold and co, was one of those missing news items…

This video movie was shot from the West Coast to the East Coast of Southern Africa, by Bruce Gold and friends, in 2009. It is the end of a series of surf videos by the SurfTV organisation of old, made to pay tribute to, and preserve the heritage and culture, of travelling surfers. And who else but Bruce Gold, portraying Brucifire, to put the message across.

Rough roads, hard times, breakdowns, injury, disease, blowouts…and finally endless supplies of tropical and sub-tropical peeling and barreling waves.

The first few chapters are good to go and we will throw a few more later…enjoy!

“The journey’s over, the journey never began…!”, Brucifire.

Well it’s been a great run of waves down on the south coast, the past month or more. Swells up to 8ft and more have been battering our point breaks, making for some challenging surfing conditions and paddle outs. Standouts have been Justin Maisch, Dave De Filipi and the barrell of the season must go to Greg Wigmore, who, at out of control Umzumbe, stood up to a macker tube that was three times his height. The wave started off nice and tame but as it reared up against the insanely shallow sand, it just turned inside out and amplified itself double…leaving Greg hanging on for dear life as it engulfed him and then spat him out 100 metres down the line…salute!

Tofo Murmurs

by

The day started early and onshore with no real promise at all. But as the tide dropped, it summoned up a little twist in the wind direction – to a side offshore, from the north. Then the swell cleaned up and all of a sudden, Tofo came alive. Steep takeoffs, fast and hollow sections…just like … Read more
