Muizenberg, my seaside village in the Cape Southern Peninsula, making special, splashy news today.






The New World Guinness Record making attempt of more than 100 surfers riding the same wave at the same time, today's result is not confirmed yet and also awaiting with anticipation for Brazil's later attempt. More at this website: http://www.surfersvillage.com/feed/show.asp?Id_news=43282






All registered, waiting and ready, notice the iconic bath huts in the background.




And away they go.



All lined up and again waiting for one o' clock and the perfect wave, which was challenging today as the breeze was slightly more westerly which flattens the crucial waves a little but the high tide/ full moon scenario had a major role to play...


Look everyone here we are...riding the wave...

So , the result of this will be announced later, beautiful day for the onlookers, only the surf was not quite up...


Somewhere in all this excitement, time stood still. Historical clock tower by Muizenberg train station, time to give this beauty her maintenance...

Brazil is next in a few hours time. http://www.wavescape.co.za/general/earthwave-2009.html#

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday...
