Hugh's Day Off


"Surf's up!"

I heard an item on the radio a couple of weeks back. Apparently we're down to about 270 Chacma baboons on the Cape Peninsula. It's a fucking disgrace.

But on to more important things.


The Reserve — the day before...

There's only so much you can do with a straight digital. It's like taking photographs with a cheap cellphone. Then again, would I swap my kids for a Canon EOS 450 with a 300 or 400 mm lens?

Who knows? One day maybe, who knows baby ...


The Reserve — the day before...

Anyway, these are for surf fiend and movie maker, Hugh du Toit. Jo'burg's loss was our gain. It was a hell of a lot bigger and far cleaner out back, Hugh, but even with a doubler, I couldn't pick the good from the bad and I've a lot of junk on my hard drive.


The Reserve — the day before...

The Sunday before (or after — I forget) it was at least 12'. On the Monday, who knows? I was working, but I believe there are a couple of pics up at MagicSeaweed.


The Reserve — the day before...

Sunday afternoon, the swell started breaking at what looked to be 18 - 20' after wrapping around Judas Peak and over Batsata Rock. The Smitswinkel residents had to hoik their boats as far up the shore as they could. They lost several to the storm.


Cape of ... umm, Storms

This coming winter ... I swear to God ...
