Wavehouse Tuesday. It Happens Every Tuesday!

Most people complain about Monday. Here at Fish Munga we don’t really complain ab0ut what day it is, but if we did, it would be Tuesday.  It’s just in the middle of nowhere. It’s  not the beginning like a Monday, not quite a Wednesday and nowhere near a Friday. That’s why we invented Half-price Tuesday at the Wavehouse… okay so maybe we didn’t invent it, but we where there!

Not only is the Wavehouse a great venue for a first date but it’s a good place to meet all your fears and deepest desires all at once.  So every Tuesday we round up the boys (and sometimes the girls) and head out to the world famous Gateway Theatre of Shopping in Uhmlanga Ridge, Durban, South Africa 90210. We’ve found this to be the best way to get our minimum weekly dosage of getting barrelled off our tits.

The wave was built in the late eighteen hundreds and was know as “El Mochonoco” which in anglo saxon means “The Mighty One” but was later adapted by the Zulu’s to the “D-Rex”. (http://www.waveloch.com/history). We won’t mention what the “D” stands for because you’ll get bummed about it even if you’re not gay. This is our only let down about the whole set up. Other than that it’s all good, consistant barreling mayhem regardless of the weather. Even if the real waves are good we sneak off to the Wavehouse every Tuesday and sometimes on Friday’s when it’s half-price if you have a student card. We’ve heard there’s even a Flow League on Wednesdays where a deal is cut and you can ride sweet hours for your money’s worth.

If you like to get down and boogie,  we mean some low down and dirty belly gut sliding,  there’s options for all members of the family.  Here at Fish Munga we don’t judge. It’s like we always say, we don’t… judge. Hell, we’ve seen these flappers come in their thousands, hundreds even.

Being the men we are,  here at Fish Munga we don’t go both ways. That’s why we sometimes bring in a specialist from far out East to go against the flow and deal with the left hand viper. That’s right folks, the mayhem goes both ways and on any given sunday the folks at the Wavehouse put the middle section on (and if they don’t, they should)  joining the left to the right making it a kaleidoscope of sexual ambivalence.

When Polly came to the wavehouse, he tried everything. He even tried lunging the poor girl behing the desk. Dispondant, tired and flatulant he sat down next the wave. Now being the opportunists that we are, we swiftly shoved him back onto the wave. Our faces dropped and our smiles turned to frowns when Polly didn’t wipe out but instead sprouted a grin and looked more at home than ever. He looked as if he was about to crack open a cold one and start flipping channels. Victoriously he had found yet another activity to do while remaining sitting, adding this to the list of  Sitting Whilst: Cooking, Showering, Kayaking, Dancing, Running, Skyping and Snoozing… all under the heading of “Athlete”. Since we technically invented this, we’re going to say ‘style’ for lack of a better word, we insisted we got to name it. Enter: Butt-skiing

Inevitably there’s the occasional 9 and 1/2 time out of 10 wipeout.  Not to scare you or anything but Dave literally once cracked his head open here, blood flowing and stitches flying. Yes, there are ijuries. This is not to say you’re going to die, but it is possible.  But hey, die or don’t die, it’s up to you. One thing you can’t control though, is that you will have truck loads of a good time.

Regular rider Rich took some time out to ride the bench and take some some photos. We assure you he’s awesome though!

So the truth is we’re still amateurs. We know this guy who’s half goat, half mullet, half vampire. He was actually the stunt double for Wikus van der Merwe and now works at Jimmy’s Killer Prawns, but he’s a pretty good flow rider too.  We managed to catch him untamed in his natural habitat. Watch this clip, it’ll add two weeks to your life and might just help you quit smoking!

Our only advice is to get up early and go to the Wavehouse.  Sure, it might mean cutting into some bathroom time, but at the end of this you won’t even need a bath!
