It was a busy weekend for a lazy bum like me, but it was a fun one. On Friday I accompanied my man to the South African Surf Awards. He’s a surfer and works in the surfing industry, so I get to tag along to all these events and feast my eyes. Hey, I might be taken, but I’m certainly not blind. The Awards were pretty fun as Nik Rabinowitz, one of South Africa’s best comedians, was the MC. I have no idea what this is about, but there’s a goat and it’s funny.

I even got to talk to the guy after the awards and he just doesn’t stop cracking jokes. A bit filthy and very politically incorrect, but that’s just the way I like it.
I didn’t get any photos of the awards worthy of posting, as I’m not good at chasing semi-famous people with a camera, but it was pretty damn cool.

Saturday was reserved for another surfing event, the Red Bull Nightshift. It’s a night surfing event and a nice little change for our happenings-wise dead city.
The beach was full, kids were lining up to get posters signed by some of the best South African surfers, big and small played beach volleyball together. All in all, very positive and heart-warming. Except the death glares from jealous 7-year-olds ‘cause I was sitting a meter behind their biggest hero, Jordy Smith.
Besides surfing, there was a crazy person on a jet ski doing stunts and a cool City Bowl Mizers gig after the surfing was over and done.

Thanks to my man yet again, I got to sit in the fenced off VIP area on a nice comfy beanbag and sip on cold and free of charge Red Bulls. I also got awesome free Oakley sunglasses and last but not least – I got to hang out with Vassilis!
We had a little beach get together and talked about all the awesome things that Suicide Girls talk about; quantum physics, the newest developments in the fields of medicine and chemistry and boobs. Nice seeing you Ms. Awesomeness and we must do it again soon!
Oh, and I must publicly apologise to Talamia for my butt phoning her three times at like 11:00 o’clock at night. Sorry babes, it’s the bloody touch screen’s fault!!

P.S. Sorry about the bad quality of the photos, my phone camera is pretty shit during daytime, nevertheless at night.

P.P.S. Happy Canada day, Canadians!! Hope it’s a good one.
