WOW!
At last after all the hanging around sitting on our elbows (some of us dont know our ar5es from our elbows) doing nothing but sipping Bacardi and lounging around the beach it has arrived. We left at 6:30 expecting the usual wind swell. As we neared Domes where the comp is to be held we could see defined swell lines, something we hadn’t seen since back in Britain. So the lads, who were slighlty the worse for wear (late nights talking about surf tactics and drinking HUGE quantities of the local beverage, you know the one that has a bat as it’s logo?). the waves were not huge, but we could see that it was the front of what we were waiting for. That session was eclipsed by the Girls surfing, and they were GOOD, check out the video clip Lads!
Later on, after registration for the event, where we were told that the money for our competition fees had not been sent by the BSA 
COME ON SOMEONE SEND US SOME MONEY, WE ARE POOR AND NEED IT!
Anyway, later on we went back for another session, and this time the swell was full on, the sea looked like corregated iron, swell lines as far as the eye could see. So much so that domes was closed out and we had to come back round the coast to “Skull Rock Certain Death Break” or whatever the surfers call it. It was big, to me a layman in Surfing, there is no way I would venture out into that, even with water wings on, these guys are mad in the head. Anyway the place was packed, the South Africans were there, they all had rash vests with “South Africa” written on, we just have old, frayed ones because no one has sent us any money
The lads had a great time, except Daz who has a problem with the board he was using, but speaking to him last night he will be using his spare tomorrow so we should be able to post some good photos of him ripping into those waves.
till then this is Kevin Stone, sat drinking Tea and eating crispy coconut marshmallows with a hint of lemon signing off
:-)
OK this is REAL TIME I have just posted this page and the Video of the Chicks surfing is being done now, I have to hurry as the lads will be calling round in a minute shouting at me to get the cameras sorted, but they have forgotten that I have sprained my shoulder when I picked up a rather large glass of Bacardi last night. And do they care? No 
Yep they are shouting there heads off at me, I have finished the video and Dago my main admin man will sort it out for you, till then gotta go to the beach

hi chaps and wags! glad to hear you had some decent surf today 5-10ft eh? went to big fistral today to walk dog, it was pretty big there too but completely blown out- no one in.It was sunny inland but a big storm out at sea with the loudest thunder! wierd looking out at it knowing that you guys were surfing the same exspanse of water about 5000 miles away!! Can’t believe that the Bsa havn’t paid your entry fees! Think you had better get me a job next time-i’ll get it sorted sponsorship too- although still havn’t heard from Michael at Stussy Roge!! So the comp starts properly tomorrow-if anyone reading these articles ie Jeds family you can watch and see results on www.rincon-hangout.com ,you probably know this already! Anyway good luck to you all tomorrow especially Roge. Stay of the Bat juice tonight! love tigs x

hello mates from fellow veteran pro /am surfer done tres palmas at 25+ amd i must say as a local rincon surfer/skater i was impressed by my fellow brits and wish you all cheers,i was pleased to meet you all so far from home and the offer for rum and cokes to your photographer is still open,remember me? no matter where i find my beloved brits my arms are always open,e-me and ill be more than happy to drop down a few at 25+ faces at tres,this is my local motion and i doubt seriously you’ll have any static paddling out with leslie,thats not to say i speak highly of myself but theres only a handfull of us who do that here in rincon and i miss my U.K. and their surfers.

Hi you lot in Rincon,
How come the BSA havent paid up yet? They need to get their hands out of
their pockets and start wtitting a few cheques!!! I thought the money side
was all sorted out before you left.
i heard that Boobsie has made an appeal to Wessex Water, to see if they will
donate to you. fingers crossed.
Glad to hear the surf is picking up, good luck guys,stay cool,your the BEST.
