Who blew up?
1. Wes "Mutton" Cruickshanks.

2.The Sugar Party organisers.
You know what they say: "When in Rome..." Well the Nixon, VZ, Da Kine and Bong crew decided to rock Cape Town aka ‘Sin City’ and boy did it go off! With A-king and Arno Carstens on the bill, some seriously hot chicks and a crew of dudes intent on winding it boy did it get loose. One dazed big wave surfer was overheard the next day saying he reckons it was the best ever industry jol in CT. That’s a big claim but we’re happy to take his word for it. Lineups around CT were deserted until sunset the next day and that’s always the sign of a good party.

3. Steph Gilmore
Winning a World Title is about as high up as the BMT rankings go on theBOMBsurf scale of relativity. To win 3 in as many years as you’ve contested the title, well that’s an achievement that not even KS has pulled off. So major respect to Happy Gilmore on her 3rd World Title. An honourable mention must go to Carissa Moore for winning the Gidget Pro in seriously overhead Sunset. (Steph was a finalist in the event).
And who blew it?
3. Everyone who missed the Sugar jol.
Eish if you had an invite and didn’t make it you blew it, simple as that! To check out what you missed out on go to http://www.thebombsurf.com/thebombsurfslideshows/290/the-nixon-party. Yeooow!

2. The two guys who tangled with North Beach Car Guards ‘Fast Eddie’ and ‘Oom Paul’.
The North Beach Car Guards are an amazing story. Without going into detail for those of you unfamiliar with them suffice to say that Durban surfers are happy to leave their car keys safely in their custody while surfing. Over the years this crew of men and women have created a ‘safe’ zone on the Durban beachfront, which is something that both the SAPS and the Durban Metro have failed to do. Last week an undesirable element were drunk and urinating on someone’s car in broad daylight. When confronted by Fast Eddie they told him to get F@#%^D and promptly laid into him with fists and hooves. He fought both of them off in a full on knock down fight in the car park until Oom Paul managed to come to his assistance. Oom Paul introduced the two ‘gents’ to the pleasures of pepper spray in the eyes and then it was back to work for the car guards. When finally the SAPS arrived one of the assailants flooked the cops and was promptly arrested for ‘disturbing the peace’. Ha ha. Good riddance.
1. Taxis at North Beach.
All the taxis who came down parked overnight on Saturday in the bays above the North Beach construction zone and left piles of glass the next day to get stuck in the feet of regular beach goers. The beach is there for everyone to enjoy, but that kind of behaviour is just selfish. Not cool, not cool at all.
