Saint Clothing Co.

New threads

So the past few weeks i have been talking to a mate of mine Tiaan about his new clothing range that he is in the process of bringing out. The company is called "Saint Clothing Co." and the clothes are AMAZING. The threads are a great cut, they have sick designs and are a good price! The company has brought out a few different shirts with cuts like low cut necks, v-necks and vests as well as jersey's! They also have a few vests for girls which look too rad! This mini range is to test the market and see if people like the clothes, I dont know how you cant dig it! Best thing is that they are keen to get involved in Bodyboarding! Tiaan showed me a few designs for future clothes that are gonna be in the next batch of clothes that are made, including jeans, shorts, sleeveless hoodies etc etc etc! i cant wait to see all that!

Here's a pic of the clothes I just got! So stoked!

apologies

i think apologies for being quiet on this blog are long overdue. almost 20 days to be exact. heres a quick update of my past 2 and a bit weeks.... ive been working so much, surfing way less and saving lots! but besides the boring stuff, ive been doing a few exciting things too. i bought my first load of dollars so now im well on my way to experiencing hawaii to the full capacity. and something else very cool and exciting happened too. il tel you more of this in a new post!! wave wise - last weekend i drove through to caves to be greeted with blown out waves. the beach at caves has an unbelievable amount of sand at the moment, the banks are super shallow and the whole beach is sand. most ive ever seen there! i had a really fun surf at llandudno on the follow monday - cold, crowded but hell fun. best waves ive had on my new board which is going amazingly! just under 20 days till im off to the 808 - hawaii.

desperation

I surfed my new board for the first time the other day in 2ft howling cross shore weak waves. Couldn't stand staring at my board any longer without riding it! Turned out to be good practice for the Caves Classic this weekend. Unfortunately Mother Nature didnt provide the desired conditions this event has held each year prior and instead gave us 1-2 ft soft waves. If only the conditions the boland guys got 2 days earlier at Caves were on Saturday. Anyway, their luck had to end sometime soon! I ended up getting an overall 5th with old mate Mafoos taking top honurs. This weeks forecasts looks very dismal again, been a almost  month now with howling winds and no waves! Get me to Hawaii NOWWWW!
Here's a pic of me on my NMD's virgin surf! So far so GOOD!
