Great shots, Crip :P

Such a great perspective from the air, you can really learn more about a break.

Looks like a lot of those spots were firing 8)

Cheers Kiddie!!! Got it on an absolute corker of a day.... zero wind and a 6-8ft swell running at perfect direction to hit most breaks in Cpt.... this is only a smattering of the breaks on the Peninsula. The place rocks!!!

Nice! Looking forward to looking at them on a REAL monitor... sometime tonight before tuning in to the JBay contest, perhaps?

Derdes looks to have someone on the right.

So... after that kind of surfcheck, where'd you go out?

Can see the sharks, but was pissed off that we didn't..... did spot a couple of waves though.

Yip, there are guys on the waves..... at a couple of spots we could see the whites in there eyes as we were at 200ft!!!!!! Was bricking it a couple of times!!!

Totally surfed out from the previous 3 days!!!! but that was the most awesome surfcheck I have ever done!!!

Pretty cool CC, I like the low shots too. I am sure there are a couple Whitey's at False Bay. :shock:

I have a friend that is from Cape Town originally, and she is there right now for two weeks, before coming back. I'll have the full surf report too. Crip, it looks like your getting first hand! :)

So the shots on Crox's site were just a taster eh?

Fantastic pics. Doesn't make me feel any better about the howling westerlies and dribbly wind swell we're endurring at the mo.
