B-side originally referred to the second side of a 7 inch vinyl records on which singles were released beginning in the 1950s. The term have come to refer to the types of song  that often does not appear on the artist’s LP.

The following images were taken at South Africa during a windsurf trip of some friends of mine!

Mast positioning is always crucial… independently of where you sail!

Beware of the mast position!!!

The swell may have disappeared from Cape Town breaks but last week was it was absolutely firing! Some spots had swell over mast and a half and many masts fell in the battle arena!

Victor Fernandez ”claimed” lots of chicken jibes that day in Haakgat! No alternative…
