hey chargers!!!


         &
nbsp;       i've recently cam
e back from what has to be the most life changing trav
el of my life!! i went to SA and Mozambique in search for w
aves for 6months.SA i have to say is unreal and i mana
ged to surf some scary big waves, such as crayfish,outer ko
m,kalk bay and many others,but after charging there fo
r 4months i decided to get away from the hustle in the wate
r and go in search for truley untouched waves! id been told
to go to mozambique. i was also told to watch out for angr
y hardcore tribes,lindmines and sharks!! it took me 2days t
o get there from cape town on sketchy buses and then anothe
r day to the place where i was certain to be waves.  w
ith just my bag and board/fins i found a place to stay and
rested my head hoping for clean,tropical barrlling waves. i
was granted my wish,cause the next day i woke and stomped
a mile or two to a reef called tofino,and was greeted to 5/
6ft peeling bombs!!! with no-one out it took me a while to
work out and get the courage to face the super shallow reef
.but once out i was living a dream!! i've surfedmany waves
round the world from bali to even west india,but theres som
ething magical bout moz. as the weeks went by,i met an old
south african dude who travels to moz to surf with his wife
and child. he'd been coming here for yrs in search of perf
ection and had truley found it. i was lucky to met him as h
e took me to these spots that he'd found and surfed hard wi
th him.theres something humbling knowing that no-one,absolu
tly no-one has surfed them(apart from the old amigo!). i sp
ent2 months with doug and his wife going up the coast,surfi
ng and exploring new set ups. its changed my whole view on
life and travelling and am determined to go back and find m
ore..........cause there is more!!!!! anyone can go to bali
and oz and surf unreal waves but to go somewhere like that
and find remote untouched waves is a blessing. try and ya'
ll see what i mean. it is true bout sharks and angry tribes
,there everywhere and had my fair share of fin sightin
gs!


i hope more bodyboarders do this as this is whats in al
l our hearts, i know it sounds like hippy bullshit but its
true,maybe i have turned into a hippy after this trip, but
ya know what if it means i can do it again,then i'm happy t
o be one!!
