The World Wide Creative team went surfing on Saturday. We all went through to Cape Town’s famous Muizenberg beach, and aided by our fleet-footed surf coach Craig, we were ably shown how to pull some nifty moves off in the waves.

We were in the water for 2 hours, and then had a fantastic lunch at Brass Bell down the road in Kalk Bay.

P.S. I have it on good authority that there were several World WIde Creative team members at Replay Sports checking out boards on Monday. This is unconfirmed, but if some computer geek crashes your wave while you’re out at Outer Kom, you can send complaints to surfing@worldwidecreative.co.za

    Actually, come to think of it, Rudolf’s got all the ’shower pics’ – guess you’ll have to bring some bribes to work tomorrow…
