The following contains zero spice. As you know I’ve been doing some work with TheBombSurf.com. It’s owned by John McCarthy who used to be involved at Zig Zag magazine in the early days and started this new vibe from scratch. He contacted me a while back and mentioned something about his new surf website and […]
As the resounding chorus of dissent aimed at these senseless attacks continue, each new sighting becomes more and more difficult to comprehend. Like this recent accosting at the Shell garage shop, on Buitenkant. What is this alien doing? Take me to your leader. Vida e in South Africa have followed the 2oceansvibe led […]
Speechless.. I’m not sure who made this, and, whilst we certainly might not condone the contents, you simply have to see it. Come now… it’s too much!
One would think that in a city which is still suffering the heartache and memories of the 9/11 attacks, people would be more mindful when walking into stores and laying on a full-on helmet attack? This, from Kerrin N in New York City: Hi Seth, Greetings from Brooklyn (New York, not Millerton), I […]
You’re rude and you’re coming across as a tool. Kindly remove your helmet. [thanks rob]
Well done to all those who entered, but, unlike Idols , there CAN only be ONE winner! And it’s James Klein. Well done, Jammo! He’ll be getting a Lizzard clothing hamper and will spend the weekend chilling at the Lizzard Surf Pro and hanging out on the VIP deck drinking beer and eating Nandos while […]
This happened a few days ago but I was ASTOUNDED yesterday to learn that some people were not aware. Well look alive people, because silver fox and 2oceansvibe character The Outside Centre (Rob Fleck) has been made the new backline coach for Western Province. “The Outside Centre” – Rob Fleck. A bona-fide beaut. […]
It’s the Lizzard Nando’s Surf Pro held at Durban’s North Beach 15-17 May, and I’m not able to go. That means that YOU might be able to get your hands on my two VIP tickets. We cannot confirm if Julius Malema will be competing or attending the event, but Nando’s will definitely be there. […]
I spotted a pretty cool competition going on at Foozi.co.za (local foosball manufaturing company) targeted at local ad agencies and designers. It’s a pretty rad idea, with the best foosball table design winning their very own branded foosball table! Quite nice. I had a little poke around and there are some pretty sick designs. […]
Public sentiment and general hygiene concern has come to the fore, as more and more restaurants country-wide are now blatantly refusing entry to ALL cyclists, let alone those who refuse to wear their helmets while they dine – a very particular complaint that we have, here at 2oceansvibe. This, from Remo’s restaurant, just outside Mount […]
Andrew R sent this to The Marketer who, in turn, sent it on to me. What happens from there is that I immediately think of YOU and I put together this little article so that you can enjoy with me. You like that? Ja, I bet you do. Going Going GONE! Very cool. My […]
Keeper of the faith, Doug W, sent in the following disturbing cautionary scrawl written on the wall of the KFC drive-through, in the Rosmead area of Harfield/Kenilworth. Seth, Hanging off the backend of a bender – myself and the missus were looking for a KFC, something to soak up the booze! Anyway, not feeling […]
Amazing that at the same time that 2oceansvibe publishes some large surfing articles (Twiggy winning here), we get this little beauty of a numberplate. Obviously a surfer’s car (jammy) and obviously with reference to the surf on any particular day. How were the waves? HUGE BRU WP So good. So very good. [thanks […]
This just in. Having spent some time in my youth in Pinelands, it always cuts me deep when I hear bad stories to do with the once sleepy hollow. I was having a great day today, between working on the movie script and some down time at Caprice – before I received this email and […]
A couple months back we brought you one of the funniest ads of your life, featuring a BMX that a guy was selling (here). That has nothing to do with this article, other than the fact that it involves a bike of sorts. I just mentioned that to, you know, bring across an air on […]
I received this on voting day from a reader who spotted it on TV. A member of the crowd was holding it up as Kevin Pietersen came in to bat. Pure quality [thanks kevin s]
I toyed with the headline “Andy Roddick serves an ace,” but inducing vomit is not my scene. So, instead, I went for a hint of tennis association with the “luv” mention in the sub-heading. Are you fine with that? I thought it was fine. So, ja, hats off to Andy Roddick, who seems to have […]
Benni McCarthy was spotted at Caprice. This, from Chris : Benni McCarthy Surrounded by his homeboys Pic at Good ol Cappers no doubt. Some Twat had his finger on the lens if you could get one of your photo shop angels to sort it out. Benni can’t get him here to play for our […]
Perhaps you should be taking your mind off our rugby teams and focusing on an area where our South African sportsmen are taking the top prize! Like Grant “Twiggy” Baker who completely cleaned up this weekend – quietly nursing a 61 foot way to take home top prize at the Billabong XXL Global Big Wave […]
The shot is taken 400m above the hole and the ball takes a 30 second flight to reach the green. It’s right here in South Africa and a hole in one will get you a cool R13 million. And yes, you do need a chopper to get to the tee. Piece of old tacky […]
F1 Ace, Jenson Button (or, as The Muse calls him, “Jenni Button”) got into a major row with Richard Branson before the inaugural 2009 Formula 1 race in Melbourne Australia a few weeks back. Branson, having just recently confirmed Virgin’s sponsorship of the Brawn F1 team, went out with the team after Button secured pole […]
Zinedine Zidane was spotted at V&A Waterfront’s The Greek Fisherman on Friday.

Zidane decided to make an appearance with his whole family. Oh please note the Mythos beer […]
Whoah, there hasn’t been an auction on the Camps Bay strip since the place next door to Caprice, now occupied by The Grand Cafe, went for around R40 million sometime last year. And now, the highly sought after building on the other side of The Grand Cafe is going under the hammer. I spotted them […]
I didn’t want to get into this, as it is clearly a publicity stunt of sorts, but the emails don’t seem to be stopping and I simply have to say SOMETHING about it. I’m talking about this “National Skirt Extension Project” thing that is being advertised everywhere. So check it out. Here are the ads […]
In a very Helena Christensen type move, 2oceansvibe Character “The Surfer” has jumped from one side of the camera to the other – finding himself excelling at surf photography.

Some friends of a faithful 2oceansvibe reader have put together a saucy little ad for the new Yogisip “Everybody’s doing it for TV” competition, using the Sharks dancers. Very commendable.

I’m assuming Supersport wouldn’t be so foolish as to publish an April Fool’s joke on the 31st of March? Hey? Surely not, guys. You wouldn’t balls it up THAT badly, would you? Supersport reports (including title screenshot with date): The impact of the Indian Premier League has been felt around the cricketing world, and […]
It looks like the latest allegations made by ex-Teazers stripper, Marilize Emmenis, are enough for Supersport to issue Joost van der Westhuizen a yellow card. News24 reports: Cooling off period for Joost Johannesburg – Representatives of the management of SuperSport met with former Springbok Joost van der Westhuizen on Monday to discuss […]
