DR. SYLVIA EARLE TO UNVEIL ALIWAL SHOAL AS ONE OF THE FIRST SIX SOUTH AFRICAN HOPE SPOTS

This December, South Africa welcomes to its shores legendary marine conservationist and oceanographer, Dr. Sylvia Earle. During her years at the forefront of ocean exploration and scientific discovery, Dr. Earle has achieved a long list of impressive accolades- including  being awarded the TED Prize in 2009. This prize takes the form of a bursary awarded each year to an individual with a vision to change the world for the better. With these funds, Dr. Earle founded Mission Blue, a marine conservation organisation dedicated to creating a global network of Hope Spots. Hope Spots are marine areas considered critical to the health of the ocean and therefore deserving of protection, of which there are currently 51 in existence worldwide.

Surf trips to Tofinho

Surf trips to Tofinho

Since 1991, we have been surfing up and down the East African Seaboard, hauling surfers old and young, beginners and jaded…through some of the finest surfing conditions that the world has to offer. Surf trips to Tofinho and beyond are an email away…

In winter time, our beat is to wait for a solid cold frontal system, and chase it from Cape Town to Pemba, Cabo Delgado, Mocambique – thousands of kilometres of travelling and chasing swell. There are so many spots along this route, that many spots have no name – and like Africa – it’s gonna stay that way!

In summer, it’s all about cyclones – and if the stars line up, and the right swell sneaks in just skirting the southern reaches of Madagascar, it lights up all the usually dormant superbanks littered all over the Mozambican coastline. There are just sooo many!

These two situations do occur seasonally as described, but also at odd times, so once you book, we will plan your trip with the most chance of catching it all – ON! Continue reading Surf trips to Tofinho
