2oceansvibe Character “The Surfer” (AKA Anthony Fox) is making his name as a surf photographer and certainly took things to the next level this morning as the Cape Times published his pic of Twiggy Baker surfing “Dungeons” on the front page. The wave vs. prison ordealI’ll take the wave.. Quite a mean vibe. […]
If everybody had an ocean Across the U.S.A. Then everybody’d be surfin’ Like Californ-i-a You’d seem ’em wearing their baggies Huarachi sandals too A bushy bushy blonde hairdo Surfin’ U.S.A.

We look after the good people, here at 2oceansvibe. You’ll remember sometime in May (here) I told you about that foosball competition and the fact that a bunch of 2oceansvibers were trying to win it. I asked you to help them win by voting online for them and, in return (should they win), I would […]
HEY! Just a quick heads up about one of 2oceansvibe’s sponsors, Lizzard Surfwear’s insane special running this week! LESS 50% on all Lizzard and Lizzy clothing, fashion bags and surf backpacks! That’s right – that means HALF PRICE!!!! 50% OFF ALL LIZZARD AND LIZZY CLOTHING + SELECTED ACCESORIES!! Lizzard Cavendish (Cape Town) – […]
Interesting headline, no? It was sort of a “mish/mash” of what I was thinking when I first saw this. No don’t fret – there is nothing wrong with this fellow. He is wearing a wetsuit which has a shark attack design on it. Quite a vibe, don’t you think? There are a few […]
Judging by the amount of people sending the link to me, you CLEARLY missed the mention and video of Jordy Smith’s Rodeo Flip we featured last week Friday (here). Shame, maybe you should stop skimming over things? And maybe you should stop sending things before checking they haven’t been featured on 2oceansvibe? Funnily enough, I […]
Monday saw the much anticipated Jordy Smith signing session at Roddy’s Kommetjie Surf Shop . Apparently it was off.the.hizzo! The Film Guy (the genius behind the Randall Abrahams Rocky video) was there and, having recognised him from the 2oceansvibe Characters list, Jordy put a little something together for me! Check it out! How […]
That’s right, future World Number 1 surfer, South Africa’s very own Jordy Smith (currently number 6 on the ASP World Tour) is in town for the O’Neill Cold Water Classic (here) which is running from 20-24 June. This happens to be the first WQS event in Cape Town in about twenty years. Jordy Smith […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. From cut-backs to the cutting room, Anthony Fox has been capturing some thrilling surf footage, which has recently been published in Zig Zag Magazine. Zig […]
Following hot on the heels of our explosive Sandy Bay Freak Out article we posted on Thursday, comes this beautiful little pictorial, emailed to me by Tony B and The Surfer. This is a true account of a surfer’s experience in the recent past at Sandy Bay. It’s pretty wild. Only in Africa Going surfing […]
I tell you, it’s been QUITE a weekend in Hermanus. When I stopped to do some writing at the end of it all I didn’t think I had anything to write about. But, if you think about it, two people nearly drowning and being rescued by a Capetonian IS something we need to chat about! […]

I found the following writeup by Spike on the Wavescapes.co.za website. You will quickly work out that we’re in for a bit of havoc this weekend, here in the Fairest Cape. Forecast – Last Update (Spike, Friday 29 August) Well, the yo yo of the models continues. Upgrade, downgrade, upgrade, downgrade. Either way, […]
Yeah! Just SLAM it! Slam it like you mean it! The Surfer punishes a wave, displaying a unique prowess which magically, yet effortlessly, manages to blend the flash of a rock star with the poise of a bellerina. BANG! That just happened.. The Surfer – dancing (click image to zoom in) Two words […]
The ever-territorial Glen Beach Locals (GBL) surfing fraternity have laid down yet another stern reminder to outsiders, that surf intrusions of any kind on “this break” will be more than just frowned upon. And a little suggestion to beginners wasting time with their shit – NO KOOKS! And don’t forget it It will […]
