I love Cape Point, it’s just a playground with a mix of incredible jumping and solid waves to ride. My dream spot is Haakgat though, I’ve had my best sessions there when it’s big. Back in 2011 I had a sick day there with solid over mast high waves and no crowds as it was huge and super windy. It was mostly just a few guys from the Fanatic Team out and we had the place almost to ourselves. In the evening the wind turned more offshore, which is what it usually does. I was still on my 3.7, which became too small on the inside, but it was still enough to catch waves from the outside. Once I was on a wave, it was just perfect, as they got so clean! I have had a few gnarly wipeouts in Scarborough Point on big days. The rocks there can be tricky but somehow I make it out without totally destroying my gear. If you can only bring one board to Cape Town, then I’d bring an 81 litre Quad, with sails from 3.7 to 5.0. I personally hardly ever need a 5.3, but I’m only 72kgs. This year I didn’t use my 5.0, only 4.7 once, rest of the time 3.7 – 4.5! I’ve been with the Fanatic Team for over 15 years and it’s always been a real team! Some of my best friends are in this team and there is always a very good vibe and support amongst each other. Fanatic has always been focussing on talents without much of an attitude and I’m pretty sure that’s the reason for the good atmosphere and why trips like these are so productive but also so much fun!
