 © True Friend Productions If you love surfing you also love things that make your surfing life easier. And the GoDry wetsuit hanger does just that. A really simple, yet clever, mobile hanging device so you can dry your wettie wherever you're at. No more having to find a fence or a branch or a bush to hang your rubber on. Instead you just stick the GoDry on the side of your cabbie and there you have it - the perfect wetsuit drying spot!  © True Friend Productions Cos let's face it - hang the wettie on a fence and you gonna end up with a nail rip in it, or hang it in the tree or on the bush and next time you pull it on you realise you ain't the only occupant! Cue the nice big hairy spider who has made a happy home in the sleeve....  © Flaviana Kupczyk Wayne from R-evolve ZA is the SA distributor of the GoDry wetsuit hanger and gave me one to test drive. Not only does the GoDry work a treat when you out for a surf and can dry your wettie on your car, but it is also a great option for a convenient place to dry your suit at home. No more puddles on the bathroom floor - just pop this guy up in the shower and bam - dry suit and no mess. Also means you won't rust your towel rail! Plus the way it lets your suit hang means it's not like a traditional hanger that ends up poking holes through the shoulders of your suit. Instead your suit is folded in half as it hangs over the nicely sized rail - and it means no pressure on your suit - and dried in half the time.  Let's take a quick look at what you get in the box:    Super easy to put it all together and stick on your surface. Even the non-technically minded can manage. Of course, once I'd hung one wettie on it I immediately wanted to see if it could handle more! So on went the second wettie - and no issues, hung onto the wall like a limpet still.  I'd recommend setting it up in your shower so it can drip in there - but for purposes of taking some pics I just had it up on the bathroom wall.  © GoDry To dry your suit after a sesh just attach the GoDry to the side of your car. It extends far enough away from the attachment point so that it keeps your salty suit well away from your vehicle, so no risk of rust!
You can choose whether to dry your suit in the sun or shade - just pick the appropriate side of your car. Too easy. The design promotes air flow around your suit so gets it dry in the shortest time possible. The GoDry is super light, and dismantles for easy storage. It really is a pretty damn useful piece of kit.

FOMO has never been more real. But as with all things, this to will pass. So don't focus on what you missing, rather focus on what you can gain during these crazy times. Get stuff done, learn stuff, chill, read, relax. The waves will still be there after all this passes. Despite the platitudes, JBay did pump off it's pip. Like proper. No-one out cos I reckon if you tried to pull that the locals would politely explain the error of your ways to you.   © Frans Gerber PE also got some kiff lines rolling through. Everyone in the Bay behaving as well. No attempts at a skelm surf. The not-so-secret spot our west was also doing it's thing.  © Flaviana Kupczyk North of the equator, a little chain of islands also benefits once JBay cooks. What wraps around the coast of SA gets up there 5-6 days later. In this part of the world it's more like locked in not locked down.  © Maldives Surf Photographer  Despite the lock down the shipping industry seems to be going on as usual. Luc Hosten is currently restricted to his rooftop in Schoenies, and luckily for us as he shoots the ships a byproduct is some nice surf in the foreground.  Been a bit of wintery weather starting. Big winds, chilly conditions. That's when instead of you envying the freedom of the boats, they're envying your nice warm bed.  © Luc Hosten Luc is still keeping the shots flowing from the wildside in spite of having to climb onto his roof every day to shoot. SABC popped past the other day to do an interview up there with him.  A proper SW buster accompanied the last cold front. The bay at Jefferies looked like an invasion of white walkers.  JBay breeze © Jim Gibson The big swell and super high spring tides put the spit in St Francis under some pressure. Not much remains of the sliver of sanddune keeping the sea from the ski canal. Ou's in the front row of houses could soon be a bit more sea-front than anticipated.   © Rozanne Fleet Some things change and some stay the same. We might be stuck indoors but the dolphins still do their daily cruise along the beachfront.  © David Randle Pipe seems to have had some fun surf most days last week. Imagine how many waves have gone unridden!  © David Randle Dennis Eliis at the Boardroom has been keeping busy. Some lekker looking hand shaped fins, and some rad sticks on the production line. Get your post-lockdown orders in!   Andre Venter keeps his salt water froth alive by checking the Fence from his telescope. He spotted something weird on the beach, which turned out to be a dead pygmy whale. The Oceanarium ou's came to sort it out. (pic taken with cell phone through telescope which is what gives it the very arty "Morning of the Earth" feel. Good classic surf flik that - give it a watch).  © Andre Venter Just another deserted beach shot. Imagine how all the little ecosystems along the beachfront are recovering nicely in the absence of humans.  © Lize Ungerer Another week of lock down done and dusted. Hang in there peeps. Not long to go.   © Frans Gerber |
