CAPE TOWN.

Western Cape. Mountain. Friends. Love. Special Tea.

Being a kid I disliked Cape Town. I loved being there with my cousins and all the family during the christmas season but I hated the mission 14hr drive in a white city golf with 6 people inside and all our luggage. I disliked Cape Town because my first ever away SA champs where held there and it all went pear-shaped. I didnt like the cold water. I didnt like the long drives just to get to the beach from where we were staying. I didnt like the fact that it was freezing in the morning and by 10 o clock you would have to change your whole outfit because its now 40 degrees and humid. I kind of had this big mental grudge against this place.I even went as far as to not do any surfing competitions there unless it was SA champs or something really important and my sponsors (or my mom) wanted me too. I judged it by its cover and that was a ROOKIE ERROR!

I have some pretty cool friends who live down there and they opened my eyes to Cape Town. We surfed and cruised in blue blaze. We took Aloose to Long street and had twenty rand breakfasts. We basically just did a handful of activities embracing our surroundings and that made me fall inlove. a little.

There is honestly nothing better than waking up, saying a helllllllo to the mountain and cruising with the freedom, creativity and diversity that over runs this city. Defiantly one of my favourite places but i must agree with my sister, it might not be as cool as it is for me for you... you see my best friends all live there. And a world without favourite individuals isnt much.
