I started surfing when i was 12! late i know!
Unfortunately i lived in Johannesburg, but made my way down to, sunwitch port about 5 times a year sometimes for more than a month at a time, my first board was a DOE old and second hand i soon got myself a WEDGE, as i had seen Gary and Justin surfing often at sunwitch and surrounding beaches, the midgets style and speed was the best i had ever seen and my grommet-ness i believed it had to be the board!
6`4″, 18 1/2, 2 1/4 square tail, my baby still to this day.
Even worste i now live in england! i havent seen her for years but she is safe at my moms house in mongomery rd in Sunwitch port, the days at Damba and the 8 to 10 foot and perfect days at sunwitch will never be forgotten.
I hope to return soon, my boys need to surf before they are 10!!!
i can see a order for 2x (5`8″, 13 1/2, 2) someday soon!
hope the weather is better and the surf is up, peace all!
