Billabong Pro, Jeffreys Bay

Hey crew! Here at Jeffreys Bay, South Africa, for the Billabong Pro. Been a couple of lay days since the event waiting period began on the 9th. I’m staying with Bede Durbidge, Bobby Martinez and all our wives. We’re all psyching to do well in the event. I’ve been scoring some fun free-surfing sessions with the crew. The weather has been perfect but that’s kind of been the problem. Here at Jeffreys they like horrible weather because it generally means there will be surf. Right now it’s pouring with rain and the wind is howling so fingers crossed the swell has arrived when we wake up. Tomorrow could be a go so stay tuned to my site and the Billabong Pro site to catch all the news and live action. Cheers for stopping by. – MF
