Like it or not the body boarders owned the peak for most of this session. Taking off on the boil and getting pitted by a boogie, and yes he made it. © Jared Aufrichtig

All in all it was a pleasant run of excellent surf. Most of the time the wind was howling offshore, but that’s Cape Town for you, you can’t complain. © Jared Aufrichtig
