Just back from another stint in beautiful Cape Town. Over the weekend the northwester arrived with perfect timing and Muizenberg Corner was on the button. On Saturday it was small but nicely shaped and on Sunday the swell really picked up - it was pumping. The power generated by a big wave is stunning. You can feel those extra cubic metres sweeping you up. I just couldn't stop and no need, I had nothing better to do. There was a little incident out back. I caught this ẁave and turned left - the next thing this dude crunched into me from my right. Clearly he thought I had dropped in and maybe I had. But when I took off I just didn't see him. Anyway there were stacks of waves and it really was unnecessary for him to make contact. We glared at each other and he shouted: 'What are you looking at me for, it was your fault!' So I suggested to him that he contact the Cape Town City council and request it to set aside a portion of the beach about 50 metres wide just for his own special self. This was a guy looking for a battle, not a surf. It all fizzled out and an hour later we were both still out there tearing it up. The QSL is from Radio 786, a religious broadcaster on FM in Cape Town. They kindly responded to my letter of reception which I posted from London although I heard them in Cape Town.
