Today saw the second coarse run by Hanli Prinsloo for the big wave surfers. Barry Futter, Jean Holmes, Sean Holmes, Cecilia Liebenberg, Chris Bertish and Greg Bertish had Hanli for the morning pushing then in the pool and dark waters of Houtbay!
Everyone was surprised by what they could do underwater, with personal best being achieved by everyone.
Hanli really shows people be it surfers or divers what they are capable achieving once you know what your doing.
It short – she shows people to themselves. Hanli
This is what she had to write about the day
“There is something about people who truly love the ocean. I’m not sure what it is, a certain whatchamacallit… depth?
The last few weeks I’ve spent time with Cape Town’s Big Wave Surfers (yes all those capital letters are much deserved!) and what a pleasure. Earnest, honest, vibrant ocean people who seek to better themselves, their performance and they really do love the sea!
So this past Sunday saw me once again with a group of passionate people, giving and receiving in equal doses. Like last time, I was impressed by the mixture of physicality, mental focus and willingness to learn.”
