About Me

Hi
Surfing in Africa has been around for some time, but when Bruce Brown proclaimed, "Hey, Mike, we're in Africa!" in The Endless Summer it was the beginning of something great. Cape Saint Francis lit the world up in 1964; today J-Bay and Dungeons have the world's spotlight, but it's not only South Africa, The wave potential throughout Africa is outrageous. Unfortunately civil wars, disease and great big sharks are some what of a deterrent for the less aggressive surf traveler. If you're thinking about going be sure to do your homework, if you get it good you'll understand why it's worth the risk.
We believe that you visiting & surfing in Africa goes great strides in helping & creating self sufficiency in those places, towns, countries which really, really need it...
Go visit & see for yourself...JUST BE SURE TO TO COMPENSATE FOR YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT WITH ALL THE FLYING YOU'LL BE DOING...as Africa burns the brunt of Global Warming.
