Who blew up?
1. Dion Botha aka "The Enforcer"
When a dodgy looking dude rocked up at The Surf HQ last week trying to sell a stolen surfboard he had no idea he was about to meet his nemeses. Dion is an old school New Pier local, he’s done time in Iraq specialising in close protection work, is a police reservist and now is the Go To guy at the Surf HQ in Brickhill Rd Durban. Dion clocks in at 130kgs (without his Glock) and is NOT the dude you want to tangle with. He has arrested 12 crims operating in his hood this year and recovered 3 stolen surfboards, the latest being Quinton Shabalalas board on Friday. Nice work Dion!
2. Andrew "Roosta" Lange
‘A friend in need is a friend in deed!’ Roosta has been busting a gut to help his mate Bruce Gold. Bruce has recently had some pretty gnarly surgery to remove skin cancer from his neck and shoulder and is not in a great way. So Roosta has organised a screening and the sale of the new Bruce Gold Movie SHALO-HA with all proceeds going to Bruce to help him in his recovery. You can help too by buying the movie from Roosta for R60, ALL PROCEEDS GO TO BRUCE!!! You can contact Roosta on roostar7@yahoo.com
3. Rob van Weiringen
Rob is the main man behind Island Tribe Sunblock. When Rob heard about Bruce’s predicament he didn’t hesitate to donate R1000 to Bruce as well as some of his gnarly sun protection product to aid in his recovery. Nice work Rob! This is The African sun we’re dealing with here people so please take care.
And who blew it?
3. Surfboard thief who stole Quinton Shabalala's boards on Friday.
The surfboard thief who tried to fence Shabas stolen board to Dion Botha. Ja you moegoe you are lucky the police got there in time to prevent Dion giving you a lesson in personal hygiene that you’ll never forget.

2. Graham Taylor
Graham is a fixture between the piers. Infact few people could lay claim to the local status that he has as a result of the dedication that he has shown over the years to Surfing in Durban. He is known for two things; how much he surfs and how willing he is to try different kinds of boards. On Friday am Graham elbowed his way into the pack at The New Pier. Instead of his customary rip tear approach he was slipping and sliding all over the place. Perplexed he turned his board over to find that he hadn’t screwed his fins in and that his hybrid quad was now working like a broken winged seagull as a result...At least the boys at the Durban Surf Coffee Shop had a good laugh!
1. Roy Sills
Roy was called last minute by theBOMBsurf crew to help out with a fashion shoot for the next issue. Roy made all kinds of excuses about not being able to make it and ended up missing the shoot. What Roy didn’t know was that our BOMBshell on the shoot, Paula (see pic) was dead keen to meet him. Oh well, Roy you see the skeleton here, well that could have been you bro...
