Wild Coast - South Africa
Posted: Sat Aug 09, 2014 12:58 am
I have a house on the Wild Coast which is situated between Durban and J-Bay that I want to start taking small groups of surfers and family groups to next year. I am based near East London which is about 250kms from the house so I am looking at taking trips from there.. For a rate per day I will provide transport, accommodation, all the food and be a guide in this still very unspoilt rural area.
The break is a very good quality point right-hand point break which has a rock/sand bottom and is, in my opinion, in the top five right- hand points in South Africa. There are no backpackers or camps here and as it is in a national nature reserve camping is illegal so if you aren't staying at one of the houses its very difficult to surf there without taking a very long and tiring day-trip on dirt-roads. Consequently crowding is definitely not an issue. In fact if the trip is outside of school holidays here I can almost guarantee it will just be myself and whoever I take with me..
I built the house three years back and the accommodation is topnotch, seafood is plentiful and the natural beauty is incredible. Fishing is also good..
I don't want to put pics up on a public domain so please let me know if you may be interested and I'll send you some privately. I am not doing this for huge financial gain, my main motivation is to be able to spend more time there myself in the months (May through July) when business in my main vocation (events) pretty much dies. The maximum I can take is four people plus myself in my vehicle so that is my limit. If you happen to be in J-Bay on a trip at the time I can collect you.
Being a kneelo I would love to take a group of fellow kneeriders there, when the sand is packed properly it can be a super hollow wave and ideal for kneeboarding.
Anyway I just thought I'd put it out there.. Send me a PM or preferably an email at tkfootprint@iafrica.com if you want some pics but I am wanting to keep this low key out of respect to other guys who have places there..
Cheers
Tim
