I've done it all. Got some decent personal bests.

I see Jbay is back on the WSL circuit next year.Chilli2 wrote: Thu Oct 24, 2024 8:41 am Found a new butchery in Jeffreys Bay the other day called BEESLAND.
It has FANTASTIC meat at decent prices.
I bought a 600g rump from them yesterday, it was tender and bloody tasty.
R155 per kg
Ja, look on a good day J Bay is great, but the wind is freezing.Sards wrote: Thu Oct 24, 2024 9:50 amI see Jbay is back on the WSL circuit next year.Chilli2 wrote: Thu Oct 24, 2024 8:41 am Found a new butchery in Jeffreys Bay the other day called BEESLAND.

It's a must do. They pulled it because there is very little spectator participation. They like to have the drones pulling off to the sea and showcasing a huge crowd on the beach. Let's be honest. It's cold and wet and windy during the contest. Not exactly ideal for spectators. But it's too good a destination not to include
On the hills overlooking JBay.
We ate at the Viswijf Restaurant when we went last year. Not too bad. Highly recommended by the locals. We really enjoyed it..But it was busy with all the pro surfers . Actually I cant remember what we ate....its that long ago. And we struggled to find it at first.... Also ate a lot of junk food at the vendors that line the walk way to the beach during the contest....Chilli2 wrote: Thu Oct 24, 2024 11:03 amJa, look on a good day J Bay is great, but the wind is freezing.Sards wrote: Thu Oct 24, 2024 9:50 amI see Jbay is back on the WSL circuit next year.Chilli2 wrote: Thu Oct 24, 2024 8:41 am Found a new butchery in Jeffreys Bay the other day called BEESLAND.

Problem is its in the middle of nowhere . Great if you enjoy peace and quiet but a loooong drive from Cape Town and quite a trek from PE. Its a hard drive just for a weekend....you need to allow 2 days for travel and then your stay time
Pretty decent price for local butchery.
kitchen Windows is also excellent.Sards wrote: Thu Oct 24, 2024 1:14 pmWe ate at the Viswijf Restaurant when we went last year. Not too bad. Highly recommended by the locals.

We will definitely go back next year when the comp is on....July 11th to the 20th I see
Meat is proper quality.LoveOfTheGame wrote: Thu Oct 24, 2024 2:43 pmPretty decent price for local butchery.
It's 50 minutes from PE and part of the Garden Route. Sure it's a long drive from CT but it's worth it!! And J Bay isn't sleepy any more, it's got dozens of restaurants and bars today.Sards wrote: Thu Oct 24, 2024 1:17 pmProblem is its in the middle of nowhere .

Dop= drink. I have my grandson visiting the first time from Korea. He is one year old and love meat from the braai. In two weeks I feed him lamb rib bones, biltong, boerewors, pork chops, chicken legs. We had also real boer food, lamb leg. Chop the bone and feed him all the murg.SaintK wrote: Fri Feb 28, 2025 5:30 pmWhat is this dop thing you talk about?Chilli2 wrote: Fri Feb 28, 2025 4:27 pm 28 Feb 2025 16:25
