East pier

, this weekend look like it is going to pump!!! The banks are really good at the moment, but it is so gnaRLY, at low tide it can suck up to only waist(on spring tide) over the bank. It sucks when you get munched by a solid 6 footer and chow on the sand

One day, seven boards were snapped, thats an indication of how heavy this place can be.

There are 3 other kneelos in Port Alfred Antom, Steve and Cliffie. Dalton Phillips lives in Port Alfred but he was in a tragic car accident from the waist down

My Uncle Clinton Bradfield(who has passed away

) was a local here as well, he won S.A Champs, and he was award Springbok Colours for kneeboarding. East Pier is well worth the drive when its firing, you should trek over here sometime

Cheers
Brad

Sorry to hear about yr uncle - i never met him - but I remember Dalton well, I surfed a lot with him back in the day when he was living in Ctn...he was $%^ hot - probably the only guy who had the raw talent to take Gigs down, which he did on the odd occasion, winning SA champs if I remember correctly!

Hope you get waves, Im off to E Bay, havent surfed since late March

so Im amped to get back in the water....
