Dear Eskom. Start scheduling load shedding around when the surf is cooking. Do we really have to do all the thinking for you – or indeed, should we surfers rather be running the embattled power utility ourselves? Yours sincerely, every damn surfer in South Africa.
I recently gave the following generous advice to a beginner surfer: “Bru, paddle with your feet together, otherwise you create unnecessary drag in the water and also you look like you’re offering up your bottom to be vigorously violated by an orca or something. I’m like a humanitarian or something.” Jen E Russ, Tonsil Tented Community
Going surfing can be like going to the toilet – sometimes it’s not how good it is, but you’re compelled to go and do it nonetheless. Wiseman Sekeleni, Mount Spleen
Window putty. An acceptable, effective and more efficient alternative to sunblock? Johan Gat, Namaqua-Aqua-land
If a tree falls in the woods and nobody heard it – did it fall? If you get a little head dip barrel and nobody saw it – did you get barrelled? Phil “Os” Ofer, Exists Somewhere
