This is a simple, down-to-earth exploration of the South Africa's top surfing destinations, from the most popular spots which feature widely on the local, national - and international - surfing event calendar to those secret hideaways that surfers like to keep to themselves. Well written with wit and a refreshing subjectivity by Daniel Beatty and Craig Jarvis - insiders in every sense, of the surfing world - this fascinating account examines not only the waves that are to be caught off South Africa's beaches, but what lies beyond and beneath: which beach offers the world's best ice cream, which is South Africa's most sought-after wave, and even how geological phenomena affect the impact of waves on southern Africa's shoreline. Funny, irreverent and forthright, this is a must-have guide to the beaches and shores of the continent's most popular surfing playground.
