Flash Float is in! photo © Sandy Coffey
After some careful research on many culture and tech websites, a crew of like-minded locals made a (fun) list of what they think is going to be cool, and what’s on the way out this year. If all of this comes true, 2023 is going to be a great time to be alive!
What’s Hot: The following are going to be in, supercool, and rising during 2023.
Yoga
Ice cream for breakfast (add fruit if you need some health)
Crocs n socks
Crocs, the hideous gift that just keeps on giving
The Flash Float (super cool)
Groynes (saving St Francis)
SALT – place to be
Anger management (c’mon, no pushing please)
Fluidity
Beach Blonde lager – kept us alive through the summer hols.
Everyone loves a Beach Blonde – on the way up!
Billys Beach (ballies evening)
Soft top surfboards (stop being so dogmatic, surfers, embrace the future)
The most exciting surf equipment for 2023, ladies and gentlemen, this is the future of surfing
Bistro Vin De Boeuf
E-bikes
ONE 33 Rum, as well as the Rosemary and Black Olive Gin
Jojo Tanks
Solar power
Dawn Patrols (Golf and surfing)
Community spirit (sharing when times are good, maintaining strong street security)
Aha (take on me)

Cats – lovable
What’s Not -The following are uncool, super yucky and on the way out in 2023.
Holiday cyclists (seriously people, WTF was all that about?)
Holiday jetski cowboys (slow clap..)
Facebook (it sucks, a lot)
Facebook: Out, damn spot!
Local online bullies (You know who you are)
Sleeping late
Banana on pizza )it’s making a comeback)
Banting
Selfies
Selfies: average
Brandy and coke (aka Vitamin B & C) Tasty, but eventually leads to the taste of blood in your mouth
Black Label
Mmmm, even though it’s losing in the popularity stakes, it still looks good.
Loud noises
Eskom (thieves)
Carbohydrates (apparently, in the olden days, they used to eat toast!)
Drum circles
Self-righteous indignation (how dare you write this! etc)
Vaping
Vaping: no good.
Tik, crack and Tik Tok – all highly addictive
Jelly skateboard sweets (they are actually a thing)
Macon on pizza (It looks like bacon, and it tastes like bacon, but it’s not bacon.)
Schooling ( Education is important, but surfing is importanter)

Sundowners on the rocks ! add too to do list
Good call, that is a must-do.
Not cool is building lots of small houses in the Village, when we don’T have enough water for the people who live here.
