Christmas socks, American presidents & New Year’s Resolutions.

This Christmas, I am making sure I get all of my fellow surfers at my local spot some presents! Sure, I know it’s kinda corny and clichéd for Christmas, but what about some socks?! A sock in the mouth is what I mean though. A Hole, Scowl Bay

One of our favourite things about the December holidays is eating, cooking and smelling good food before and/or after a surf session, let’s be honest guys! And we certainly deserve good waves and good food this Christmas season, as 2024 has been a tough old year with all the crazy stuff happening worldwide. Not the least of which is the re-election of a certain odd American president. Still, as a somewhat neutral dude, who watches American Christmas cooking shows almost as much as I watch surf clips online, I feel the US has an extremely disturbing problem. For both Democrats and Republicans alike. Of course I refer to the distressing way Americans pronounce “herbs”. And surfing wise, don’t get me started on “buoys”. Tronald Dump, US and A.

‘Tis the Season for giving! So I gave the car guard at my local surf spot parking a whole bunch of my old surf branded clothes. Expect his toothless grin gracing the apparel pages as a model in all the top surf websites soon. Anne Thema, Anthem

Yay! It’s that time of year when instead of hearing hip hop or sickly sweet pop blasting from parked cars at any given surf spot we can expect Boney M instead. M Bone, Eee

It’s almost 2025! So start thinking about those New Year’s Resolutions! I, for instance, plan to wax the windscreen of any car brandishing the New Zealand supporters’ fern decal parked wherever I happen to surf. C Ya Kolbe, Port Etzebeth
