As well as an abundance of cooking waves, South Africa is not short of world-class shapers too – some with over 50 years experience in the bay. So the only excuse for not having an epic board under your feet is a maxed-out piggy bank and/or a pile of snapped sticks after a killer run of swell.
Compared to elsewhere in the world, surfboards are cheaper in South Africa too. What costs a kidney and an arm in Europe or the US, sells for much less here in SA. Another bonus is that they shape boards suited to their local breaks – our breaks. And while they spend most of their day mowing foam and fine-tuning perfectly foiled rails, they’ve also got time to chat about what might work for you.
