Barra breaks again Feb 2021 one more time with feeling
Barra breaks again
Barra breaks again - this past few days has seen some wild wet season weather patterns that are typical of a February around Southern Africa. Boisterous!
February is actually the source of a tonne of swell. The only thing is that it goes in all directions!? And when the stars line up for surfers, this happens at the miles-long sandspit that is Barra.
The video below features a few clips shot by Lalaland Africa's Chad Leavitt. Who never misses these swells. Luckily he lives there hey?
Anyway, a previous video I posted of Barra, created quite a scene way back when. It was actually one of my top-performing videos and many comments went along the lines of - "Hey man if you show people this stuff you gonna get crowds". Type thing.
I just have to laugh because even if you drop a few hundred good surfers on this miles long lineup, they will all get barrelled. And worked. It is a very difficult place to surf as it gets bigger. At 6 to 8 ft there are atom bombs exploding on the sand. The place has a current flying down it at a huge rate of knots. You can hardly walk in the shallows from it. Many of the waves closeout. It is such a long walk back to the top. Can take 20 minutes or more.
But it's the manageable days that really count. When the sun is blazing. Blue Mozam skies. And it's like 4 ft and everyone manages to get out. These are the days. Where on one of my many runs back up to the top, I pass surfers, my mates, lying in puddles of exhaustion. Moaning at their punishment. As perfect wave after perfect wave run by unchallenged by anyone. Yes Dave and Aladinho, I am talking about you guys!
Lalaland Africa
Chad Leavitt, who secreted these pics and video to us, runs the enchanted Lalaland, on the beach, across at Tofo. Where he has his very own set of waves, spread out in front of his place. They even have names!
But if you get yourself all that way up there, get in touch and let's see if we can get you into Lalaland. Very reasonable and really a perfect hideaway. With your very own waves!
You can find your way to Lalaland online on The Sardine News, under accommodation.

COOL

Roosta's annual pilgrimage to the land of blue seas has opened with a solid swell that just refused to stop for a week! So much sand around making for many barrells and gaping sections.
The water is so clean we are seeing shoals of couta smashing baitfish around us while we are surfing...
The forecast is mind blowing

GARRI
garrick-crazy
On days like this, when rods are going simultaneously, tempers flare and confusion reigns - try catch some of the dialogue... Garrick came through plentiful with over 20 per day coming out at The Umzimkulu River Mouth in Port Shepstone, KZN, South Africa. Leervis is their afrikaans name. Very tasty fish for pickling or curry.

THE B
the-brucifire-surf-report-feb-2021-part
The Brucifire Surf Report Feb 2021 Part 3 is all about the surf. A few sessions strung together with some Bruce commentary - with a little help from his friends of course. Goofrey in the background can be heard clearly! There is a starfish in the mix.
Here is Part 4...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZXHIC8lP-w
One or two waves filmed at a distance, but soon we gone get Brucifire rigged up with a tripod for his iPad and then we gonna see some good close up and personal supertubes stuff.
There is a reference to the evergreen Stevo Neelo who got bust catching waves in the morning (R2000), during the lockdown, and was back out ripping it up in the very same afternoon!
But ok, this little four-part series will act as the harbinger for the future as Bruce and I get our proverbial act together. These surf reports promise to be a lot of fun and hopefully will raise a few heckles, and shackles! If you like what we do, please consider getting involved. By contributing content. Or by joining our network of like-minded online marketers intent on catching this digital wave while it's still breaking!
We do websites, social, anti-social and all sorts of online things, so get in touch if you would like some TLC for your Business.
