Incredible! Can’t imagine climbing that dune. So disheartening sliding a half foot back for every foot forward.

‘Officially’ people aren’t supposed to climb it, but they do. The park only really allows climbing on Dune 45, which is on the road in at the 45th km. And zero off-roading is allowed - which is great. An incredible place & if you love deserts, it is a must visit.

Early morning in the Piggs Peak area in the northern highlands. The roads were garbage but the people were friendly – except for the cop that gave me a $50 SZL ($5 US) fine for speeding in Mbabane . . .

Wow those are really cool looking clouds, do you mind if I save those as references for my art work.
What was the speed limit, ten miles an hour, doesn’t look like you could go much faster on roads like that lol.

Thanks man 
All kinds, used to do a lot of custom airbrush artwork on bikes, crash helmets, hockey masks. Now I paint mostly canvass and Tshirts all kinds of subjects depending on what people want.
Link to a thread that shows some of my work through the process of making it if you want take a peek

Surfing is a pleasure / pain sport:
On the left side of the pic - pleasure (someone’s wake says on the right says they’re about to have fun too.
In the middle and visible on the right - pain. (or quality underwater meditation time! 
)

No special efforts into doing shots in the last few months as trying to deal with a collapse weed market here lol From yesterday and Sat trip to the mountains.
Before I called it a day after hitting snow and having hard time keeping it on the road with two ditches and no one around for 10+ KM and no signal; Got tight in there

I’ve found being held underwater to be a very strange experience. If you panic and fight you die. If you relax you float to the surface.

Surfing is 80% paddling, 18% waiting, and 1% riding a wave (the other 1% is spent BS-ing in the parking lot.)
I have MANY anti-panic strategies for bad wipeouts.
“Even a big-wave wipeout averages less than 30 seconds. I can hold my breath for 2 minutes in the current situation.” – No worries, enjoy the ride!
Sometimes just reviewing the wipeout itself - “Did I really just catch my outside rail? Took the board right from under me like a rookie! Next wave I’ll drop quicker and catch a little boost from it.”
Last time I was scared was hurricane Marie - I filmed a lot of great surfers all day at Malibu First Point, and paddled out that night.
Broke my board on the third wave and was nearly dragged through the pier while swimming in. Not my best session…

I am definitely a rookie still. Where I live is landlocked so I can only surf when I travel. Except when I lived in Texas. Shitty waves but I was thankful for them anyway.
Wiping out is great fun. I don’t even mind. Going over the falls is like a playground slide for adults.
Nice sandy beach breaks where you can be dragged across the bottom are awesome.
The scariest waves I’ve ever been in were triple overhead. When the locals start crapping out you know it’s serious. !Fuerte!
