Jeffreys Bay is Africa's surf capital. It is an all year surf destination for
surfers. Supertubes, Boneyards and Kitchen Window are just some of the notorious
waves that attract surfers from all over the world. There are waves for surfers,
from complete novices to pros.
Surfaris
Go on a surf mission around the bay of St Francis. Explore Supertubes, the

movie, 'Endless Summer'. These surfaris are full day excursions. A local surfing
guide will accompany you.
J-Bay Surf School
Learn to surf at the Jeffreys Bay Surf School, the leading surf school in town
and one of the best in the country. The surf instructor is the coach of the
local regional surf team. He is also a qualified lifeguard and will ensure professionalism
and competency. Beginners use special boards. Lessons are run twice daily depending
on surf conditions.
Surf camps
Jeffreys Bay Surf School offers weeklong surf camps. Wannabe surfers can live
the surf life. Accommodation is provided in a dorm, but arrangements can be
made for a private room. Prices vary depending on what accommodation you choose.
Students have a two-hour surf lesson every day. You can use the surfboard in
the afternoon to practice. On the final day of the camp, students are taken
to Seal Point in St Francis Bay to test your skills. This is the spot where
the epic “Endless Summer” was filmed. You will also visit some of
the well-known shapers in town, who will demonstrate the process of designing
and manufacturing surfboards.

Billabong Pro
The crisp lines of Jeffrey's Bay have lured surfers from all around the globe
for more than forty years. Supertubes is one of the top waves on the planet.
18 years ago Country Feeling started the Surf Classic competition with the aim
of putting South African surfers on the international competitive track. In
1983, the Surf Classic was upgraded to ASP World Tour status, and in 1984 the
entire surfing world took notice as thundering 8-12ft lines fired down through
Supertubes, prompting ASP General Al Hunt to claim it as one of the top 20 contests
of all time. Today, it is the longest running surf competition in South Africa.
