Murhy's Calling

Everyone is busy at the moment. Everyone. My friends at varsity have exams to prepare for. My friends with real jobs are working over-time for their Christmas bonuses. My friends who don’t work or go to varsity have anarchist ventures to explore. Or they’re still waiting for their parents to give them petrol money.
Even Maximus was up at 5 this morning, digging important holes and repee-ing his scent around the garden. When I called him for a walk, he just barked on about the recession and a merciless Bullmastiff that keeps pinching loaves near the gate.

It’s a pity the South Easterly is still pumping, because I would have had the bay all to myself if there were waves. But the swell is building in this wind, so after it changes to South West tonight there should be decent waves. Hopefully everyone will still be too busy then.

WCT NEWS

The Hang Loose Pro (Brazil) started yesterday. It’s the second last stop on the World Championship Tour; surfers looking to drop their worst results will be putting in exceptional effort. Jordy Smith (Durban) had an outstanding first round, getting the highest heat score total of the event so far, but was given two interference calls near the end of the heat! An unfortunate tactical boo boo on his part. Jordy and the other Saffas will be in round 2 as soon as competition resumes. http://www.aspworldtour.com/ has all the news and links for the Hang Loose Pro.
