A Lynx .... on the Links !!
Ryan Donnelly spotted a Lynx while on a walk at the Links golf coarse the other day
what a great sighting !!
The locals have been bombarded by the holiday makers in every form- SUP `s soft boards , boogie boards and paddle ski`s! But at the same time hit by a great run of summer groundswell and scorching weather and 24 degree water. So we`ve taken the good with the bad and had a great summer break! The bright side is , the weather has continued to deliver and the masses are gone. Some great banks on the beachy at the moment , so the surfers are stoked! On the international scene, Dale Staples is representing SA in a ISA World challenge in China, of all places. Its to try and promote the healthy surfing lifestyle to the Chinese public. 4 men and 4 wowan are representing each top surfing nation from around the globe. Good Luck to Dale and the SA team!
