  • GLEN BEACH LOCALS ONLY, BRU

    18 Jan 2008 by Seth Rotherham in Atlantic Seaboard People, Atlantic Seaboard Places, Surfing

    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 be very interesting to watch over the next couple of weeks to see if the likes of the LL’s (Llandudno Locals) or the KSI (Kom Skom International) dare tempt fate and ride one of the most expensive waves in the world.

    With a mini-break set a few meters in front of no-more-than 12 multi-million Dollar villas and a surfer’s view of Table Mountain and the cableway, one can begin to understand the GBL’s (Glen Beach Locals) over-protectiveness.

    But that is just the attitude that KSI (Kom Skom International) finds amusing. With world champion Ian “Mettie” Metcalf as their spiritual guide (from long before – I’m talking the days of the “783’s” (Kommetjie dialing code)), I wouldn’t be surprised if KSI simply laughs in the face of danger and starts dropping in on the GBL’s waves, telling them that their pose stinks (with the SPU (South Peninsula Unity) right behind them).

    So that’s what everyone in Cape Town is thinking about and talking about at the moment. We’ll keep you in the loop. Until then I think I should also tell you that the new Kom Surf Shop is opening tomorrow (Saturday 19 Jan) in Kommetjie.

    A smart person would nip over Chapman’s Peak, quietly stop off at Cafe Roux for lunch and then check out the new Kom Surf Shop around the corner. Or the surf shop first, and then Cafe Roux. Whatever. You get the picture.

    It’s very easy.

    I wonder if the GBL’s will be there..

    Oooh…

    ps. It is interesting to note that the various rivalries from Glen Beach to Llandudno were actually referred to in last season’s summer hit “No Matter” by Will & G (incl. download). They go into detail in the very last minute or two of the song with gang-type shout-outs like “Glen Beach Y’all”. They even go on to suggest that Hout Bay locals are “playa haters.”

    Hectique!
