A new website, by the name of www.stephaniekohler.co.za has gone viral in South Africa’s Twitter universe. From what initially like someone’s own personal webpage, the person to which the domain name refers, “Stephanie Kohler,” has nothing to do with the website whatsoever, other than being the target of an online attack. Retribution for alleged fraudulent […]
I don’t need to remind you about South Africa’s premiere social event happening on Saturday – the annual L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate Horse Race at Kenilworth Race Course in Cape Town. And if you haven’t got your ducks in a row, best you pop down to Computicket right now to secure your tickets. Rather I should […]
Yesterday I “tweeted” something about the magical road that transports you from the new Green Point circle (next to the stadium) directly to the Waterfront (the preferred back entry near the Radisson hotel). There is no easier route to get to the Waterfront. Even if I was driving into town from the N2, I would […]
As cycling chaos continues on the roads of Cape Town, seemingly reaching it’s peak as avid cyclists are even seen to be turning on each other, 2oceansvibe has found and wants to show the more chilled alternative to the excessive aggression, exposing one’s balls, , illegal activity, prawn behaviour and complete disregard for the rest of […]
Edward Aikau was a well-known Hawaiian lifeguard and surfer. As the first lifeguard at Waimea Bay on the island of Oahu, he saved many lives and became famous for surfing the big Hawaiian surf, winning several awards including the 1977 Duke Kahanamoku Invitational Surfing Championship. Eddie Aikau In memory of Eddie, came the Quiksilver Eddie […]
Springbok captain, John Smit, is currently on a whirlwind book signing tour of South Africa. From Margate to Canal Walk, fans are arriving in their droves, just to get a glimpse of the global superhero and, God willing, an autograph. Not that one should expect complete support at these events, as we witness this adorable […]
Suffice to say, if you did NOT receive an email confirming you have won tickets to the 2010 L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate horse race, then you did not win.. Well done to Michael, Raoul, Alex, Dan and Ryan! To the rest of you… better luck next time! Not that it’s all over for you! Heavens, […]
I’ve always got time for has-been seasoned professionals of the game. It’s those conversations that start with ‘I remember the time’ that trigger something in my brain which puts me into nostalgia mode. That’s the mode where the little leprechauns in my head pull up small ottomans closer to their leprechaun-sized couches and kick back […]
My skill-set is widely discussed and it’s a given that long-distance running comes as easy to me as horse whispering. It was for that exact reason that I accepted Runner’s World Magazine’s invitation to do the Two Oceans Marathon. They were clearly aware of the fact that I do the same course most weeks – […]
SA #1 and future World Surf Champion, Jordy Smith , gives us another reason to like his vibe. He’s obviously got TONS of surfboards in his “quiver,” but I did not realise that each of his boards has a girl painted it. A different girl for every board. He doesn’t call them his “boards,” he […]
There are many reasons why The Rock is a 2oceansvibe Character – not least of which being his ability to find such incredible pieces of greatness as this. Behold, the Tiger Woods online arcade game. This is NOT a drill The aim is to drive Tiger safely out of Elin’s grips, and ensure that his […]
Please don’t let the same thing happen as what happened with The Killers concert in Cape Town. You know what I’m talking – those of you that woke up too late and couldn’t get tickets. The 2010 L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate is on January the 9th which is one month away. That’s right, South Africa’s premiere […]
So we had that whole 2010 World Cup Draw vibe, hey? Wow – very cool vibe! Why did 2oceansvibe Character “The Barndog“ have to be one of the main okes on the stage and involved with the picking of the balls? I’ll tell you why – because it’s like that, and that’s the way it […]
I’m not usually one for getting star struck, but even I rolled out of bed this morning, irrigated the Gobi desert in my mouth, and rang myself to call in sick with football fever. It’s the 2010 World Cup draw tonight and the last time I was this excited was when I realised a mince […]
Well done to Lee Casalena, who has created this excellently excellent virtual tour of the Cape Town Green Point stadium. Including images of workers scratching their heads and a pair of white people in hard hats. I see a lot of chemistry between those two.. If it (the virtual tour) doesn’t work then you may […]
So as I said a couple days back, all these ex-flings of Tiger’s are starting to come out of the woodwork, following his bizarre car accident outside the front of his home (which including his wife “rescuing him by smashing the back window of the car with a golf club). Some of them are obviously […]
Our very own Victoria’s Secret model, Candice Swanepoel, is causing quite a stir overseas and seems to be – dare I say it – cracking the US! She was on one of their “NFL TODAY” (Football) TV shows this week and, in a nutshell, KILLED IT! Check out this video – God, she really is […]
They’ve come in from all over and well done to the peeps that took them. Whilst there certainly were many duplicates in my inbox, the following images are made of pics I received sent in from three different sources. Please enjoy these pics (there are more, make sure you see them all by following the […]
So the Boks are taking on Ireland at Croke Park. If we lose on Saturday – of course, I hope we don’t – but if we do, I would like to take this opportunity to prepare all South Africans for the next wave of entertaining Sunday morning headlines, right out of the top drawer. I […]
If there weren’t enough reasons for you to love Mabu Vinyl (2oceansvibe’s vinyl store of choice), this may well be what you’re looking for. Spotted in their window over the last week: Spotted in Mabu Vinyl’s shop window.. Enjoy the “Dickhead” sign above the book You simply CANNOT put a price on that kind of […]
I must admit I’ve been dying to do Fantastic Racing for a while now and when Cape Town Tourism invited me to a day at Killarney (same place I did the Audi Advanced Driving Course the other day) racing around in single seater racing cars, well, I couldn’t resist! This is what I found upon […]
2oceansvibe Character (The Barndog), Springbok rugby captain and global superhero, John Smit, is getting to grips with his new Twitter account, as we see him cross the two week mark. Well done, Barndog! With unique insight into a world others have little chance of experiencing, we are now blessed with such glorious tweets as this […]
I thank God every year for the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate – a place where I can truly be myself in the comfort of like-minded people who understand the difference between being classy and being clever. A place where I feel protected from the riff-raff and can discuss the latest issue of Vanity Fair with those […]
You might recall the complete mess that was the singing of our national anthem during the Springbok’s game against France on Friday. Well you will be pleased to know that our embassy in France has responded.. Here it is – from the South African Government’s website, in the “International Relations & Cooperation” section. Tsunami’s, Xenophobia, […]
So, Joost is releasing a book and everyone’s upset. I don’t get it? I also don’t get why SuperSport gave him the boot? Sure, he cocked up. (Pun intended.) Sure, he’s now capitalising on it. Sure, he’s climbing the SA fame-and-riches ladder and has probably just pipped Steve Hofmeyer from the 16th spot… But keep […]
The Annual Industry 5 A-Side soccer tournament is back – bigger and better! This year’s venue is Hamilton’s Rugby Club, in the shadows of the 2010 WORLD CUP stadium, with all the excitement of past tournaments, and a huge afterparty at the venue thrown in for extra amounts of fun. Look forward to a great […]
We’ve shown at least one pic of each new stadium which has been built for the 2010 Football World Cup. Then we went into detail when we showcased the Durban stadium for you (much to the delight of Fred Hatman) and we even reported on Cape Town’s own Green Point stadium turning on the lights […]
2oceansvibe Character, The Roofer , had a little surf at Dungeons yesterday. No stranger to big wave surfing, this should have been like any other wave – big speed, big “green room” etc. Pic by Richard Johnson Unfortunately not so this time.. From Zig Zag‘s website: Things can turn ugly very quickly at Dungeons Reef. […]
So, apparently cheating is still rife in the sporting world. Well that’s according to Victor Conte. He’s the guy who co-developed a fancy steroid and then fed it to pro baseballers in tight peddle-pushers and motorcycle helmets that only covered one ear. It was quite ingenious really. You see, he would feed it to a […]
Pretoria – The Blue Bulls won the Currie Cup at Loftus when they beat the Free State Cheetahs 36-24 in a lively and high-scoring final in which they controlled matters from the outset and were never behind. The win for Blue Bulls coach Frans Ludeke, replaced as Lions coach three years ago after a string […]
