| The original home of the perfect wave. And even
though it's been almost 40 years since the release
of the classic surf documentary The Endless Summer,
with its discovery of the flawless, peeling rights
of Cape St. Francis on the Eastern Cape, South Africa
is still synonymous with exotic surf adventure-and
perfect waves.
With over 2700 miles of Indian and Atlantic Ocean
coastline, South Africa's surf potential is staggering.
From the tropical beach breaks and headland points
of the Natal Coast in the north, to the remote
right point breaks of the aptly-named Wild Coast
along the central Transkei, from the world-famous
barrels of Jeffreys Bay and Cape St. Francis on
the Eastern Cape to the lonely curls along the
Garden Route to the south, from the booming cold-water
big wave reefs of Capetown to the endless left
walls of Elands Baai-a South African surfari offers
up a greater variety of waves than some entire
continents.
