They say people in Cape Town don’t work… If it’s a nice summers day, doesn’t matter if it’s a Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday… the beaches are packed and people are out doing their thing. I’m starting to think the same about Durban, not so much weather but for waves. If the surf’s good and manageable (under 6ft) doesn’t matter what time of the day, it’s going to be crowded! All you have to do is ask Jordy Smith, seems everyone wanted to give him a welcome home drop-in yesterday at New Pier, pregnant women and all haha! 

Here’s PC this morning deciding to shake off the crowds and go left.

It may not be everyones number one choice in surf destination but over the last few years the surfing world has been taking notice of what Africa has to offer. Not long ago if you had asked an American or Australian surfer about Africa and surf they would have understandably said South Africa, maybe Morocco. But with the interest our coastline has been getting recently and the trips and discoveries been made, not to mention what else is out there… It seems it is the year of Surf in Africa.

A Surfline Spot Check on St Leu, Reunion Island with images from our trip last year, narrated by Romain Cloitre. Reunion Island has to be the most beautiful place i have been fortunate enough to travel to and has an abundance of world class waves. For South Africans it’s just a short flight and is surprisingly affordable. So if any of you are looking for a surf destination, i highly recommend Reunion. Take the Mrs, there is plenty of shopping and sightseeing, or go with your mates, the French ladies are not too bad…
