Have you ever trodden in dog shit pre-surf, then put your surf booties on? I certainly have, and it just outright sucks. A tip though, just wash your foot off, then put the boots on – I wish I had thought of that when it happened to me. As they say, hindsight is backwards or something like that. IM Becile, Cape Pile
Can anyone explain why my coffee tastes like fish today? Grant Social, Mount Frisbee
Why do people think hedgehogs (and to a lesser extent – porcupines) are so darn cute – but then they are no fans of sea urchins? Seriously people, they’re all prickly little creatures, although you’re bliksems unlikely to run over a sea urchin with your car. Billy Barrels, Barrel Chested
We all get hungry in the lineup, and let’s be fair – leaving the lineup to snack on something is kinda a mission. So bring some food with you! Granted, paddling out on your surfboards with fruit, burgers, pizza, fillet steak or garlic bread on you is pretty difficult – so pick something soft you can put in your wetsuit that won’t have any hard or sharp edges to cause you discomfort. I say marshmallows! Although, after an hour, they’ve pretty much dissolved into a gooey, white mess that tastes overwhelmingly of seawater. Archie McAnus, Aberdeen (the one in South Africa not Scotland)
Anyone else notice just how much certain brands of surf wax resemble cheese? I found this out the hard way. Fetish Feta, Fish Hoek
