Winter’s coming, which might depress you. But who said you had to be outside in order to take a dip? Imagine a world where you could break out your bikini or speedo anytime you wanted, even if it was snowing outside? Of course zi Tjermans have already made such a thing possible. This mindblowing indoor […]
Here’s some great news for the swimmers amongst you. The City of Cape Town is about to launch a first-of-its-kind initiative to clean up the water running into three popular bathing areas.

Friends, by now you’ll all be aware of the sterling social work that 2oceansVibe and Jack Daniels have done over the course of the 2011. Every month, we’ve liberated desk-bound Capetonians from the drudgery and depression of working on a Friday afternoon. Check out last month’s vibe. And we’re rounding out the year with a […]
Next time you’re on the beach (and frankly, given the current weather in Cape Town, that may be later today), bear in mind that there’s more to the scenery than meets the eye. Sand is ba-yoodiful, too – beyond what our human eyes can perceive. Have a look at these shots of tiny grains of sand magnified to 250 times their real size.
Now I should clarify here, Norwegian kitesurfers in blouwberg are siesa. And by “siesa” I of course mean “an intoxicating mix of insanity, skill, and bravery”. Yesterday, Nick Jacobsen climbed up a crane on the deck of the now-permanently wrecked Seli I, with his kite and his board, and jumped off. Nuts.
The Silly Season is no better on display than in the hub of silliness, Camps Bay. Our brothers and sisters from the north have arrived, with their vests and muscles and costume jewelry. It’s quite beautiful to watch, my china! I took a little video clip of the action and you just won’t believe what I caught on tape, cycling past.
This weekend saw some rather unfavourable weather conditions. The South Easter unleashed her fury over Camps Bay yesterday, and so Clifton 4th it was. Still, it wasn’t ideal, as the gusts hit every umbrella on the beach, sending the ice-cream men running. But nothing could disturb these beauties…Check the earphones.

A 2oceansviber sent me a PDF of what must be the most comprehensive pack of old Cape Town photos ever. We’ve all seen those shots from the 50’s and 60’s, but it’s not often you see shots from 1900! Check out Clifton: Clifton, Cape Town – circa 1900 Pretty sick, hey? There are literally HUNDREDS […]

I was really stoked when I found this pack of magic in the Big Blue shop in Kalk Bay this weekend. As some of you will be aware, drinking alcohol on Camps Bay beach and all other public beaches in Cape Town is prohibited. And whilst some of you have taken to making pre-mixed drinks […]
Very strange behaviour, if you did. I’ll tell you why. You see this morning I tried something new – I went for a 5km run. Which is weird, given that I’m known as a 4km specialist. It’s true, people often refer to me as “The Four Kay Specialist.” It’s either that, or they call me […]
