July 23, 2006 - Tony Update From South Africa

Below is an email and pics that I just got from Tony a few days ago....

ed,

Have been in jbay for the last week to check out the Billabong pro after a great road trip up through the Transkei (Wild Coast) and Durban for 2 weeks with my Japanese friend Naoki who I met here in Jbay surfing supertubes about a month ago...

Ill send some photos from the road trip and from the contest here but the shots I sent you were from having breakfast with some girls I hung out with here in Jbay that I met in Durban a few weeks ago (Katrine, Michelle, and Gizelle). Anyway, ends up Gizelle has been friends with Slater for years, so I went over to have breakfast with the girls on their last day here and Kelly was just sitting on the couch waiting for them to get ready...

Long story short, talked a bit waiting for the girls to come out then had breakfast and got a kick out of some pretty funny stories Kelly told....
