Swiss Champ and Camp 2013 Swiss Surfing Championships
SSA begrüsst neu zum Organisationsteam der Swisschampionships 2013 : Noemi Bickel, Mirko Schadegg und Roland Hauser.
Mit dem neuen Team wird gleich auch einen neuen Austragungsort bestimmt. Die Schweizermeisterschaft rutscht 160Kilometer westlich vom letzten Austragungsort Zarautz und findet neu in dem malerischen Küstenörtchen " San Vicente de la Baquera" statt. Neu wird die Schweizermeisterschaft mit einem coolen Surfcamp ( für Teilnehmer und Externe) und diversen Sidevents verbunden. Momentan ist das Team vor Ort, knüpft lokale Kontakte, prüft die besten Sandbänke und Campmöglichkeiten. Mehr Infos zum Champ & Camp folgen demnächst.
This morning, after 'not a great sleep' in the van on Kirra Hill!! I got up quite tired and had a coffee with Stefan Vogel at his flat. (I thought my van would be more quiet to sleep in than a flat with 2 babies!!) After the coffee i was thinking i would say goodbye and then leave for home. But before i left i thought i would check D-bah. So i was up on the hill with my second cup of coffee sitting on the grass and was looking out at a something out of a movie shot by Taylor Steel. It was 4 foot, a little offshore and about six peaks all barreling off its dial. was i seeing stand up barrels?? There were only about 60 guys out and that is not much for the Gold Coast!! So i rushed down there, burnt my mouth trying to finish the coffee, left my drivers side car door wide open and ran down to the beach like a 16 year old grommet on steroids!! So i got out the back and was lucky to get a few straight off the bat. Took a couple of late drops but was making 'most' of them. No real barrels yet though just some good old wipe-outs. Then a guy paddles up to me and says ''i like your commitment'' I was like yeah i am trying my best. He was talking about the last wave where i did not get the barrel of a life time but a flogging (wipe-out) of a life time. It was a huge peak and i was a little late paddling in, but knew it would barrel big time so i just kept going for it, kind of knowing it might be 50/50, but just like a 16 year old grommet i was over zealous and just went. instead of under the lip i went with the lip and just got driven down head first with the lip of the wave!!! And the guy must of just been having a good laugh. Well i got a compliment :-) anyway?? A bit later Mick Fanning and Rabbit paddle out and about 100 others so i knew my time was over! Got back to the car and thought 'oh no', i have been robbed, my heart sunk!!! but after checking everything i realized it was just me leaving in such a rush and forgetting to close up!! Back at home now and everything hurts and i realize i am going to be 40 very very soon... ;-)
See ya's "a day in the life of Martin Down Under Aussie Style"
