It's THAT time of the year,when we see the best bodyboarders from around South Africa at the same place and the same time,all there for the same reason,the desire to all be crowned the South African Bodyboarding champion for 2013.
I can tell you that the Central Kwa-Zulu Natal Bodyboarding Team is the hardest all round team to get into,the trials are hard due to the incredible standard of riding that all the riders bring to a heat to prove their place on this team,this is why they are once again sponsored by Thiel Board Co. and Justbodyboarding.If you are lucky enough to get a place on this team,things only get harder,the 'training' begins and the captain(this year being Michael Ostler) then decides how they would like to bring upon various forms of pain to the team for 2hours on a Sunday morning. In the end,it's all worth it,especially when the team has to travel down to cold water provinces as this takes a lot of energy out of a person,this year is one of those years with SA champs being held in Mossel Bay. I'm pretty bummed that I could not make it to the event,but I am following every little bit of information I can get as to how you guys are doing down there.
Good luck to the best Team in South Africa,as we can see by the engravings of CKZN on the most wanted trophy in the country,THE Fishman Trophy. Good luck to each and every one of you and lets see the best rider win.Below you will see the 2013 CKZN bodyboadring team with their game faces on.

Where do I start? I've had a blog before but then things went south and I lost interest as fast as I got into it...NOT this time though.A blog is a place where one gets to share their thoughts with whoever clicks on the link,share,spam or whatever you would like to call it,I like to call it the key to someones personal life and experiences. Not everyone likes to spend their time sitting behind a keyboard busy typing stuff that they are thinking about so that everyone/whoever wants to,can have a read.Most people,including myself usually just skip the bull and go look at the pictures at the bottom or watch the video and leave the blog without reading the story behind the visual aspect of things.
I have been MIA for a pretty long time now,from completing my schooling to having bad luck with waves etc etc...but that's not the point, the point is that I'm back, I'm back to pick up from where I left off,BUT I will be racing to catch up on everything that I've let slide by me... It's time to get fit again,winter is basically over in Durban now,but there will be waves soon and there will be contests soon too.IT'S CRUNCH TIME. Head down and pen in hand,get school out the way and train when possible. Everyone wants to do something to stand out, I will,somehow,even if it's not on purpose. We all have a purpose in life and I'm starting to realize mine,but you will hear about all that kak in the future over posts to come. I'm not promising posts every day or every week,but I will post when I can, and yes I will put on Facebook for everyone to open and read.
My next post will be purely about Bodyboarding and my views,many wont appreciate what I have to say and others will,that's life,if you don't like what I have to say just come back another day.
There are things planned for the future with my sponsor Thiel Board Co. and its called BLK ED,have a look and get involved https://www.facebook.com/pages/Thiel-Board-Co/210091252348741
Cheers to who ever gave this a read,share it,forget about it,print it and frame it,do what you want with what I had to say,but shot for reading it anyway.
PEACE.
