- Опубликовано: 20 авг 2024
- Take a drive with me as we go down the most beautiful section of the South African East coast to explore a few hidden gems on the coast. I compete in the Vic Bay Quad which is an inter provincial(state) team age group surfing competition with a long history. It is one of the most popular contests due to the mellow vibe, social atmosphere and stunning setting at a very under rated surf break that always has waves...
Cheers Trev, your videos are keeping us alive over in the UK until we can come back home.
Awesome so glad you enjoy them.. Just having fun and showing off our lifestyle ♥️
@@oceanadventures365 See yous all in November, we are gonna be house hunting if all goes well
Thanks for bringing stoke to the SA diaspora! Love the footage and stories. 😊
👌🙏
I must have drive the road between PE and Knysna 100’s of times in my life. As an ex South African it was nostalgic to take that drive with you. Lots of familiar places.
Thanks for another great video, Trevor!!! Loved hearing your story of being one of the lucky ones who grew up being able to ride all the different generations of boards. My dad grew up in the 1930s in the South Bay here in So Calif and had only surfed on those crazy, gigantic long boards. At the time, there was some guy in the area known to have made some decent boards and my dad had a couple of them that he apparently loved dearly. Later in life, he would marvel at what the young guys could do on the short boards. Wish he were alive to be able to see you and your videos. He'd love it!!!
Your dad sounds like he was a full "Stockie" glad you enjoy the vids 🏄 and thanks👌
What a lekka episode, amped for the next one!
Mahalos for sharing. Ill be 60 in a month so i really enjoyed your insight of the past and the boards evolution trip. Basically similar past as far as equipment and the value of being a surfer. Aloha
What a place to live - right next to the wave - ZA is one beautiful place
Indeed..
That part of the world is beautiful 👍 Thankyou for showing us👌
Pleasure and it gets real good too🌊
Congrats on your huge results Trevor! All the soft point surfs paying off!💪🏼😂
Thks Josh!!
Great stuff.
🙏
Started on a mal in 1964 now aged 72 I've gone up in length and volume. Missing too many waves. O60's was good for a while but by 68 years old all these hot "young" Over 55 year olds stated filtering into the O60's. Bugger that so put up my case and got an O65 division added last year to Surfing Australia! Makes a big difference but kudos to SurfingNSW who I approached for listening and following through. 😍
Be there soon.. They just created an o/65 category for the comps here..
Great vid. 👍
🙏
Hey `lukka one balie. Good to see the ous using open minded and sensible and riding boards to suit the conditions. Even flat earth 2 plus 1s coming out.
Lekker Stevie! What a place, vic is a beaut
Did you know Syder Murphey? Being from California, same age as you. We used to hear he was a great shaper in the day there in SA.
Everyone knows Spider.. Still on top of his game and still shaping great boards in Durban!
Surfing open estuaries looking for Zambezies!
🤣Yes and plenty whites down here..
I never got to Jeffries. Ou Ballie tears and rips. Keep it up just like wine, it gets better.
8:36 - I'll be doing the garden route in August. Do you have any advice for driving it? You said they trap like crazy along there, just want to stay safe. Love your vids Trev!
Stay strictly to the speed limit the cops are on it there.. Dont talk on cellphone either..
Depending on the time you have go check out the nooks and crannies.. Some cool places. August we have big swell so the small places may be too big. Watch the charts Vic good up to 3m after that.. 🌊🌊🌊
@@oceanadventures365 thanks for the advice, appreciate it Trev!
I wonder if the Qutenique Choo Choo still runs this coastline.
Dont think its running at moment.. Went on a ride with my young kids way back..
Think about doing a Documentary on JBay from the 1950's through 2024...The must be great 16mm; 8mm; super 8; 35 mm film from locals to create a Documentary.
Just a thought.
Getting that footage.. Very rare..
@@oceanadventures365 Your journey is similar to mine starting in 1964 while living in Malibu.
Started on longboards twice my height. Single skeg. Wish I had shot more footage on my 8mm and super 8mm.
Mistake.
Yeah we had 16mm footage of Bruces from a 1976 swell that somehow got lost... I could have really shown how good that break was back then... Very sad
@@oceanadventures365 OH, no, tragic.
I lost my old film in a 1978 Malibu Brushfire. Lost our family home.
😭
What boarding school did you go too?
Same as you Mike Muir College 😁
@oceanadventures365 thanks for the videos always puts a smile on my face - nice for a homesick EC boytjie
😁
