Surfers Lane's New Deck

Artist impression of the proposed new deck at Surfers Lane by Jeremy De Beer.

Surfers Lane as been a bit of an eyesore and neglected for the last few years. So we (North Coast Surfers Union) have finally got our act together and trying to get the project off the ground. Jeremy De Beer has designed some initial concepts and Kevin Ginsberg from Dolphin Deck Maintenance is helping with the design and implementation.

We still need to get all the necessary approvals from the Kwa Dukuza Municipality which I am sure will be no easy task. We will also need to either raise the R30 000 for the deck or get a sponsor on board to help us out.

It looks good tho ...hope we can pull it off.

Friday Arvo Surfers Lane Cleanup

Some of Da Boys getting their hands dirty

On friday arvo some of the boys from the North Coast Surfers Union pulled together and gave our lane a TLC. The municipality had finally come and removed the 2 or more weeks of rubbish that littered the lane that morning .... but they did a bit of a rush job at it. Check out these pics. 

The other thing was all the holes, stones, rubble and mess still left over from the Mr Price Pro a number of weeks ago. We got stuck in trying to remove what we could, but its almost a no win situation. 

What was grass is now just rubble.

For now we will just try and keep the place clean until we can get permission to build the new deck .... which we were promised we could do after the Mr Price. We intend taking the Municipality up on this and we are just waiting for the drawings to be finalised.

This weekend was also supposed to be the local Winter Classic but large lumpy surf caused the guys to call it off till next week. There was an expression sesion for an hour before the east totally wiped out the surf.

Ryan Belfore won best move, Marcus Theron got the best Barrel ...and I got the best wipe out!!! Damn I am getting old!!

Syd finding a cooker even once the wind was on it.

Keep an eye out for the comp next weekend ...it should be fun.
