		<description><![CDATA[While you were poking your eyes out in impotent rage at Bryce Lawrence and the South African rugby team&#8217;s ability to win everything but the ballgame, in the small neglected corner of the sports world known as professional surfing another South African athlete was being maligned by the administrators of the code.
To cut a long story short, Travis Logie did exactly what he needed to win his way through to round 4 of the Quiksilver Pro in South West]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During the FIFA World Cup last year Thomas Mulcaire together with Ricardo de Oliveira set out to shoot <a href="http://www.vbs.tv/surfafrika" target="_blank">Afrika</a>, a documentary film following a group of Brazilian surfers traveling from Maputo to Eland’s Bay. In extension to this film their exhibition of film stills Light and Variable Winds with a Large Long Period Swell showed at the Goodman Gallery Project Space in Johannesburg recently. Answering the question how soccer, surfing, Africa and art relate. This is the story&#8230;

		<description><![CDATA[I remember a time when surfers were more than just professional athletes. A more exciting era when pros charged as hard at the bar as they did in the waves. Surfing has come a long way on the back of that rebel spirit but today most pros are eating raw carrots and doing yoga on balance balls, that leaves me with a question: &#8220;Where have all the cowboys gone?&#8221;
I grew up in Durban, I wouldn&#8217;t say on the wrong]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Wavescape Film Festival marks a unique moment on the Durban surf calendar. It’s the one time in the entire year that all the waveriders gather, shrug off their differences and pack into theatres to see the luminaries and the legends dance on the holy waters of world surfing.
The festival opened on Sunday evening on Bay lawns. 2000 waveriders of every denomination huddled in unity against the icy wind, sipping chwala and blazing the mighty herb in defence of]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The path to surfing greatness is littered with rippers with fading sponsors and deviated septums. Hung-over vampires, their tans disappearing after their moment in the sun, they feed on table scraps and hump desks and handshakes, making a living in the contingency of a dream unfulfilled. After all, with only 32 spots available, losers outnumber winners a thousand to one and it’s no longer enough just to be talented. The ‘hopefuls’ know that hope doesn’t win contests.
So who cares]]></description>

Actual rideable waves turn what’s been a great place to tan for the last week, back into a world class surf-break. Huey has arrived, fashionably late to his fashion show. The wetsuit models prepare for their close-ups.
Black is passé in the new world of neoprene. Each surf hero has their personalised surf hero suit: red, green, yellow and white, Adam Melling looking]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The ocean is dead. Someone has killed it.  J-Bay hangs in a deflated stasis, the bite of the event off chewing something else. Day 7 sees the surf shrinking from pathologically tiny to windy puddle.
Supertubes has been difficult, blindingly fast and shallow in the small conditions of Round 1 and the first 6 heats of round 2. With massive gaps between waves, the competition was staunch and tactical, wave selection critical. Exciting stuff to watch as bursts of intense]]></description>

The surf only arriving at the end of the waiting period is the best possible thing that could have happened for the town, after last years&#8217; contest flashed by in 3 days, leaving J-Bay bewildered and feeling slightly dirty. At this stage far more beers have been drunk then waves ridden. Pockets and livers alike continue to haemorrhage and vomit yellow bile.]]></description>

Fans line the beaches, giddy and star-struck as the surfing’s elite focus their energies on this legendary wave machine. The eyes of the surfing world are glued to internet screens from Japanese cubicles to smartphones in San Diego. Dolphins swim down the point completely unconcerned. Beautiful women prowl the contest area, hoping to get their nails into something with a picture perfect backhand snap. The festival atmosphere is alive again! The]]></description>

Thanks to two back to back 8-10 foot swells that lit up the Mr Price Pro. People are claiming it as the best WQS event outside of Hawaii, ever. And coming up is the Billabong Pro in J-Bay, widely regarded as the best wave on the World Tour. So it&#8217;s a]]></description>
