The End is near but not here and Things have dragged on

Welllllll....
Im in Ballito at the Secret Spot surf camp. While here I will get to shape myself a surfboard. I already have the size and shape (a 5' 11" fish) picked out. Hopefullly it wil be ready to ride in a week or less, although one of the things I have noticed about SA is that things tend to take a little longer than people say they will. Which makes you take things a little slower and forces you to be patient.
Our Surf instructor COurses have dragged on and on due to poor waether conditions. One day the water was full of jellyfish, and another there was literally a typhoon off the coast. THe wind hs been very strong onshore most days which means we havent seen decent surf very often in durban. Locals keep telling us this is the worst sean they have had for surf in years. Oh Well.
We still need to finish some demonstrations, rescuing someone on a board and surfing in with them, as well as backboarding someone win the surf which is hardest when you are on the backboard playing the victim and at the mercy of the surf with your limbs and head stabalized.
So lots of boring hours to pass the past few weeks.
I have been playing lots of guitar, which I bought in Cape Town, to pass the time. It is a good way to kill time, and something that I was trying to teach myself last year at home and i had hoped to be able to continue whilst traveling so it is good thing to have it.
My back continues to heal and i think i might even get som pretty sweet scars from all this so that is good. ANd i am really looking foreward to next week when I go to Mozambique for a 5 days of hopefully surfing good waves, camping, and fishing. We might even get to help Bevans friend monitor some sea turtle nesting which should be a cool thing to experience.
It feels a bit wierd to be at the end of this group trip. Most people are all thinking about going back to thier lives at home, and for me it feels like the start of a new trip. At the same time ill be seeing most of my family in around a month which means that the time is flying by this year way faster than i would like.

Travelling mostly on my own for the rest of the year is something is am really looking foreward to. Anmd getting on to Bali after mozambique I should be able to find better waves fairly consistently. I am still just as keen to get more experience on bigger, stronger, groundswell. As well as working on turns and sweet ass surfing manuevers.
Ok time to get off the computer
TTFN
talk more soon!
