In its second year, Surf heads to the raw, wave-dense coastline of South Africa’s Western Cape.
Twelve surfers and a crew of 30 spent 10 days camped far off-the-grid waiting for the rare combination of long-period swell and offshore winds that turn this coastline into a surf mecca.
This rugged zone features long point breaks, heavy reef slabs and powerful beach breaks, with conditions changing hour to hour.
From their coastal camp, the surfers navigate cold nights and just as cold water, far from creature comforts. Over the course of the competition, the surfers face a series of sessions across different waves and conditions. The format rewards the ability to read the ocean, adapt quickly and make the most of
whatever arrives.
