This is Sunny. He is a German shepherd and anyone who has been to Point in #Jbay will recognize him right away. Sunny belongs to Oom Robbie, one of the old guard surfers here, and she loyally stands guard on a shallow reef, all the while waiting for her master to finish his dawn surf session.
Our trip to #Jbay was all about #FamilyStoke,and there is nothing quite like it. We swapped the rugged mountains of #baviaanskloof for the @kougamunicipality coast, where a booming swell was predicted to roll in (this, according to @robert.marais & his plethora of #surf prediction Apps). And boy, was this surfer boy right!
Points. Shallow reefs. Banks. Beach breaks. Wedges … we surfed them all. The #Jbay breaks worked six days out of seven, with The Robster styling Supers and Tubes (both a bit beyond my personal pay grade). The cherry on top was a gut-thumping final morning of 6ft walls on the Kitchen Windows backline, with only me and @hilanamarais out on #dawnpatrol.
Connecting with my parents and siblings, and a whole bunch of old (and new) friends was an added bonus. Because, in the end, it really is all about reconnecting with your tribe 🙏😊
Now it is homeward bound for two days before returning to the #gardenroute to shoot @otterafricantrailrun with the @magneticsouth_events crew. So pleased that this premier #trailrun is back on the calendar (because trail-runners are family, too, my Bru)!
