Come re-live the glory days!
This Saturday, 16 Movember, the Quiksilver Off-the-Lip Mo Retro Surf Jam will be taking place at Beach Bums in Casuarina Beach on the KZN North Coast, where plenty of retro radness, much like Southern Cape legend Leonard Giles oozed throughout the 80’s, can be expected.

The rules for the Surf Jam are simple – grow a mo, wear some classic threads, and shred on a pre-80’s single-fin or twinnie. If your mo has let you down this year, don’t stress, just rock an outfit relevant to the 70’s and you’ll fit right in. Ladies, that includes you – if you (thankfully) struggle to grow a moustache.
Bring your mates and family – all are welcome! In fact, the mo people the better!
Surfers registration starts from 9:00am and R100 entry gets you a limited edition t-shirt and lunch, as well as a chance at winning some groovy prizes that have been ‘stached away, ready to be awarded for: Best dressed Man of the Mo and Mo Sista, as well as other speciality prizes on the day.
Prizes include this sick stick (a limited edition twinnie shaped by Peter Lawson), Captain Finco single and twin fins, and more rad prizes.
The Off-The-Lip, Mo Retro Surf Jam is in celebration of Movember, a world-wide campaign to raise vital funds and awareness for prostate and testicular cancer and mental health, and all proceeds will be going to CANSA.
If you need a lift, a 23 seat shuttle bus will be going from Remo’s Restaurant in the Umhlanga village to Beach Bums and returning later that evening:
8:30 am – Remo’s to Beach Bums.
3:00 pm – Beach Bums to Remo’s.
8:00 pm – Beach Bums to Remo’s.
