I have an idea for a new thread...

About 15 years ago we did what we came to call "The Four Corners Year" when we visited all 4 the extreme ends of South Africa in 1 year. Alexander Bay, Cape Agulhas, Kosi Mouth and Beit Bridge. Added serious kilometres to the Landy, because between visiting each corner, we returned home to Cape Town to do a bit of work. In the process we also saw some of Namibia, Zimbabwe and Mozambique. Like I said, some driving! 

you left out crook's corner?!

i wonder if Farmer Glen would repurpose his floating bridge for a day after Sani, looks like fun, if a bit dangerous.

Even without this contraption surfing is one helluva lot of fun. 

 

Billabong had it pegged with their 90's slogan of "Only a surfer knows the feeling".

Personally I think being able to paddle onto a wave is the ultimate. That moment you see your opportunity, u turn, you start to get anxious, you paddle some more, you get more excited and then off you go, a sigh of relief, you up and riding the wave.

Cool - was in the Kgalagadi last year, a week at Nossob. Even then i couldn't quite justify it!

...and then comes the bottom turn, and you either go vertical up the face to smash the daylight out of the oncoming lip, or you perform a quick snap before ducking under the lip for that 8 second barrel, where time really does slow down to the point of almost standing still. Suddenly you are spat out riding a ball of foam and mist, whooping your lungs out, and then finally ending the ride with a rail-grab cutback and kick-out. You paddle back to the top of the lineup, claiming the "best barrel I've ever had, bru" to all your mates.

I rode door mats for a while, not quite surfing though. I'd like to give fishing of a ski a bash, must be a rush landing a large edd' on one.
