GENERAL SURF

The KZN coastline is vast and full of empty points, beachies, reefs and slabs. It€™s got something for everyone. It€™s an extremely beautiful area year round but especially in the winter months when the morning offshore winds blow without fail. The key to scoring is being dialed in and knowing where the sand is. Tide wind and swell direction are all key factors to various spots lighting up and without local know ledge and experience it would be hard to put oneself in the right zone.  The surf absolutely cooks over her but you got to know where to be!

Best months: April - September

LEARN TO SURF

Learning to surf is an incredible amount of fun! You see it on every single persons face that€™s given it a try! Throw in some warm Indian Ocean to help you soak up the saltwater goodness and you have the makings of a holiday to remember for life. You never know, you might well just get bitten by the surf bug! Something you could be eternally thankful for. We€™ll get you in the water with great instructors in some awesome locations and be sure to put a smile on your dial.
