This one felt so good! After a long, barren run, the Mediterranean finally woke up, with huge waves coming into Ghajn Tuffieha Bay.
The swell, with over 2-meter waves, brought with it a huge collection of surfers as everyone got their feet wet. The waves were clean for the first couple of days, and big allowing fast lefts and rights, and some good opportunity for some cool moves, snaps and the odd airs!
Great – No swim zone
The upside: the swimming line finally got removed in time for winter. This opened up the entire bay and made it stress and hazard-free.
The downside: wetsuit season, baby! Oh ye, it’s chilly now! Some managed the entire day without a rashguard; we’re looking at you Flynn, while others went straight in with the wetsuits. Where the f*ck is mine, I wonder, still in some box after moving house. Dust it off guys and gals, it’s time!
With that, you can also get your BOMBA wet suit changers to keep the sand out of your beloved cars!
Hoodie season official open
Yep, that time of the year again too! Hoodie season is open, so break out your beloved BOMBA hoodies to keep warm and check out the new ones we have in stock here, including this delicious pink hoodie!
Clocks go back
Another huge downside is that very soon the clocks move BACKWARDS and for f*cks sake we all hate this. Time to set those alarms and beat the day time. 6pm darkness is not cool at all as those after work sessions almost vanish into thin, dark air. The last Sunday of October, Sunday 26 is the saddest day of the surf calendar.
We saw some airs being attempted, with a couple of claims, and some huge drops. Kamil from Poland graced the bay with his huge wingfoil as the playground opened for all and I can’t even count just how many cameras and drones we saw at the bay. I swear we’re the most documented surf community in the entire world, let alone the Mediterranean.
Special love goes out to Georgina, who takes on the biggest conditions with no fear! A wipe out caused a fracture, but she’ll be back, stronger than ever! Look at it like a trophy, a mark of progress G, those who don’t try, don’t get hurt, rest up and chin up as usual.
King Kelly Slater checking in
Did you notice that too? Kelly Slater, the GOAT himself checked in, following BOMBA’s IG stories for two whole days! We always tell you bomba stickers add shreddddd power, but did you also know that now your waves are being seen by a WSL legend? Only bomba madness!
Coming up: Bomba interview
Great news, we finally had time to interview a wicked surfer, the youngest in our line up! Look out for it this week on bomba!
Comp anyone? Snap loading?
Now, with waves like this coming in more frequently, and the swim zone taken out, is it time to hold a comp? We think so! Snap anyone? Let’s see what we can manage and where, one thing is for sure, BOMBA is on hand with prizes, the usual articles and documentation and the vibes!
