Obviously when you are living in a city, you don’t always have the time to whip out to a dam, or a river somewhere and so you need to bring the action closer to home if you like the pursuit of water borne sports. A friend of mine, Andy B, happens to have a winch which he likes to throw in the back of the truck and then a mission is made to see where the winch can be set up.
To the illiterate out there, and the bricks, a winch basically is just a motor of sorts and it pulls a rope in. So in effect we can hang onto this rope and be pulled by it, and thus we can surf across ponds in the greater Cape Town area. It also comes in handy at Fish Hoek I believe, although I missed that winch mission as I was at Investec that day.
It’s definitely in the same league as Xtreme Sterri Stumping, in the way that it is on the breaking edge of defining a new culture, this time “Urban Mayhem” in Cape Town. It’s things like these that keep us looking so youthful. In fact, a production company made a little video of our winch mission which was in a pond somewhere near…I actually have no idea where we were. That is not important though.
What is important is the fact that we are redefining a culture, like the foot skating boys did. So if you see a herd cruising around in a white bakkie, with a winch on it, you know it’s the crew. The video will surely be posted here, complete with some awesome beats.

So that’s it but the best part is the video which we will be loading soon. Just one of the many ways in which we max out the Cape Town action. Winch missions can be set up anywhere and can waste absolute hours of your time which is awesome!
By the way did this on a school day. No big deal! I also like to only party on school nights…rebel.
