The Full Monty by Charlie Rietz
The Full Monty by Charlie Rietz: right here on Brucifire Surf Reports is Charlie Reitz as he recounts his epic never-to-be-forgotten ride starting at Supers in Jbay.
Place of Dreams
Ndawo Yamapopo. As endorsed by the Credo Mutwa, is the Place of Dreams. Is Jeffrey’s Bay. Is Baia do San Francisco. Is St. Francis Bay…all the same place.
Where dreams take place.
Like Charlie Reitz’s surf dream, Charlie might not have believed it was true either. If not for technology and networking, Charlie may have woken the next day not believing he had done it. For that state of mind known as flow to surfers, easily distorts and bends reality any which way it likes. When you are in a state of flow, nothing else comes into your focus and without the usual flurry of things to remember and associate with, memory dumps can happen.
And they do. Many a surfer kicks out of a good wave and can’t remember a thing that just went down.
Technology
A stopwatch might have been touted as proof of a 4-minute ride by many a loudmouth. But nothing matches today’s tech for proving or simply recording a point.
And so when two clips were matched up to be the same wave, Bruce went looking for a third angle. The SurfCam. But it was not to be as of yet.
And so we stitched the clips together with a substitute shot of the Point at maximum velocity. That clip leads into the last leg of the two-kilometre ride.
The Full Monty.
