      @@itskoasmith casually mentioning that every creature wants to kill you is simply... ignorance. I'm only familiar with one creature that match this definition and that is... a human.

    I recommend taking a visit to a town called kometje because it has arguably the best big wave spot in South Africa,krons which has perfect barrels, long beach which is basically lowere trestles from wish and it has inner Kom which is a perfect left and works at high tide but it only works in south winds (it doesn’t matter which way south) and east winds
