Gain a Minute of Happiness

"As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time.You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back."

Surfs Up

It’s that beautiful time of year that a string of talented, sexy, hot ass surfers are heading to a beach near you.

Wintertime is the best time for good surf in South Africa and we’re lucky enough to boast a variety of international events. The best part is they’re spread around the country so just about everyone gets a turn.

If you haven’t already heard, the O’Neill Cold Water Classic is already underway in our mother city. 2 of our homebaked hotties Damien Fahernfort and Rudy Palmboom are amongst 100 other surfers to compete in it.

The boys then head off to Durban for the Mr Price Pro. We watched Ricky Basnett claim a victory in 2006 and Travis Logie squeeze into the final last year so this year should be just as tantalising! For the first time it will be held in Ballito, it’s a gorgeous place to soak up the sun and be apart of the action.

If that’s not enough, JBay then hosts the Billabong Pro…you’ll have to trade in your cheeky shorts for an umbrella coz JBay is freezing this time of year but with cool bands lined up to keep you busy in the evenings it’s always loads of fun.

Stay tuned to www.aspworldtour.com for all the latest updates.
Happy pro spotting ; >

Why Being Yourself Is the Best You'll Ever Be...

It sounds like something your mom would say but just being yourself is possibly the simplest fashion advice there is to give.

Vivienne Westwood once said that the clothes she makes are only tools in a woman’s wardrobe,
how each woman puts them together is what makes those tools look sensational.

Being yourself is just so much easier than trying to be someone else. In fact, it’s way cooler.
If you want to wear heels when everyone else is wearing flats, do it. If you think cowboy boots make your legs look incredible, wear them. If you’re listening to rock while everyone else is listening to hip hop, rock it.

All the cool kids are doing it. Ashley Olsen, Drew Barrymore, Erin Wasson, Kate Moss, Ellen DeGeneres are just a few celebs that have marched to stardom by the beat of their own drums. Stick to your true colours coz they’re always the most interesting.

Jordy Smith Wins ASP WQS 6-Star O'Neill Cold Water Classic Tasmania

MARRAWAH, Tasmania (Sunday, March 29, 2009) - Durban surfer Jordy Smith has taken out the ASP World Qualifying Series (WQS) 6-Star O’Neill Cold Water Classic Tasmania in pumping surf at Bluff Reef in Marrawah, Tasmania, defeating fellow ASP Dream Tour traveler Damien Hobgood (USA) in the final. The win saw Smith take home a prize purse of US$16,000 (approximately R160,000) and 2500 WQS ratings points.

With a solid 8-foot swell and offshore winds, the final was held in near perfect conditions, allowing Smith and Hobgood to show just why they are two of the top ASP World Tour surfers at the moment.

“It was good to get a win,” Smith said at the prize-giving. “It’s been a while. Damo’s been ripping this whole event. I looked up to him as a kid so it’s great to be out there with one of my heroes.”
