| Who blew up: |
| 1. Dale Staples |
| Aah this guy surfs so well when he's on form. In the recent Billabong Pro JNR in Bali he went bezerker, turned heads and set tongues wagging. It's not just that he's a good surfer, he is an exciting surfer to watch because you are never quite sure of what is going to happen next. His radical approach and unpredictability is what makes his surfing so cool. Go Ducky! |

| 2. Neil Webster/Red Bull/Fixer films for 'The Perfect 10'. |
| Geeze if there is one surf film you see this year you have to check this out. Ten years of charging hard at the Dungeon all documented and lovingly sculpted into an amazingly insightful and radical film. Neil takes you right into the minds and hearts of the big wave surfing community over the last decade as you watch the performance bar being pushed and pushed and pushed again. It's amazing. |

| 3. The Bokke. |
| Aah boys what a beautiful victory! 2-0. Amazing. What was so cool was that the conditions at a wet and windy Kings Park more closely resembled a stormy day in Dunedin than an outing in the sub tropical climes of Durbs in winter. The Boks changed gear adapted their game plan and prevailed. A world class performance from a world class team. |

| And who blew it? |
3. The All Blacks |
| In New Zealand rugby terms any form of defeat is treated as a national disaster. The entire county goes into mourning, stock prices fall, divorces increase and good friends fight with each other. In short when the All Blacks Lose everything goes a bit Pete Tong in the land of the long white cloud. Another week of much wailing and gnashing of teeth for the Kiwis as a result of their 2-0 drubbing from the Boks. |

| 2. The Scottburgh Municipal cleaners |
| If you are employed you have the right to embark on legal strike action, but that doesn't mean you can litter on a grand scale or damage other peoples property or businesses. These idiots emptied all the rubbish onto the streets of the quiet town of Scottburgh turning a peaceful and beautiful seaside town into a garbage dump. It was shameful. Bewildered locals tried to clean the mess up themselves but were faced with and threatened by a rampaging mob. I say kill them all and let God sort them out... |

| 1. A.J Venter |
| Talking about Rugby and surfing. A.J Venter paddled out at North Beach on Saturday morning on his SUP. North Beach on a Saturday morning more closely resembles a zoo than anything like a cohesive line-up. It's the one morning in the week that the locals shrug it off and try not let the irritation of the weekend warriors get to them. Everyone who owns anything that floats takes it out to sea to see if it still floats. Into this mayhem paddled A.J on his SUP. The coffee shop locals shook their heads as he weaved his way through the packed line-up. The surf was small but the bank in front of the Pier had real bite in it. A.J paddled for a set, got pitched, took out a one legged kneeboarder from Texas, three school girls and a ballie longboarder and snapped his R10K SUP clean in half. The Coffee shop locals shook their heads again and went back to sipping their brew and talking shit. Um ja well no fine.. |
