I've never been one for the main stream sports so when I was asked to start a blog as a university assignment I decided to blog on alternate sports, which to me are far more exciting and extreme yet don't get the media exposure the deserve, so after Qualifying as a Exercise Scientist last year I decided to keep my blog going and focus on these sports as well as document my travels being a profession surf judge and a bit of my new interest in sport journalism, feel free to use the question box or post comments, Enjoy!

Gap year gone great!!

Taking a gap year to pursue my judging career turned out to be anything but chilled,even my blog has been neglected, but its been one of the sickest years, traveled all around the country judging events, got asked by the ASP to judge two world tour events and will be heading overseas in October to judge.

And just when I thought things were quieting down and I could get back to the books and get some blogs done on common surfing injuries and the treatment and rehab of them, I find out that i'm just as busy as always.
Good news though as I will be down in Cape Town this weekend to judge the WP Open of Surfing and then on Monday i'm going to be sitting in on the Surfing SA high performance camp at the Sport Science Institute of South Africa, which is sick, i'v always wanted to go and see the institute and check out the possible career opportunities that are relative to my degree, so a huge learning curve, being employed by SSISA , or even doing my masters there would be a dream come true
After that I got a couple local events around the SA coast line and then i'm off to America to judge worlds.

Common surfing injuries part 1 coming SOON!!!
