Peg Street Kings 2012

I am thriving on the fact that longboarding has taken off in South Africa in a big way. Thanks to the likes of companies like Peg, we are seeing (especially in Durban), a rise in the amount of people buying themselves a board and hitting the streets and beach promenades to have themselves a good time, on wheels. 
My friends and I have a skate crew of 30-something people who will rock up to skate sesh's at the beep of just one group MMS. We have such fun every time and I have the best memories attached to longboarding.
In saying all that, Peg is hosting a 'Street Kings' competition next week taking place on Danville avenue. I will definitely be watching and I think you should come along too. 

Bikes, Betties and the Beautiful Beachfront

Last week, in celebration of the lovely Casey's birthday, a big group of friends and I went skating/biking along the Durban beachfront promenade, from the Moses Mabhida Stadium to Ushaka and back. It was one of those 'pinch myself is this really winter?' kind of June days, and Durban was breathtakingly beautiful. This day was one of my top 5 days of 2012 so far and I am ever grateful for the city I live in and the people that I get to live with, and fun is definitely a top priority of ours. 

Side note: I am rather stoked about the recent rise in popularity of skateboarding in Durban (especially amongst girls), thanks to the likes of companies like 'Peg.' I got to use a Peg longboard for the first time, and it was a sweet ride!  

Here are some of my iPhone pics of the day.
