Learn to Surf Traditional Geocache

Sun, beach, waves...surfing...Surf City!

I first started surfing back in the 80’s after my parents bought me my first surfboard for my 13^th birthday. From that day my life changed and the beach became my life. I remember waking up way before sunrise, walking a km to my best friend’s house to fetch him and then another km to the train station. From there we caught a 3^rd class train into town followed by another 2km walk to the beach. Back in those days the 1 foot waves down at south beach suited us just perfectly. After a day at the beach we would make the trek back home, falling asleep on the return train trip.

Those days are long gone and it is unfortunately no longer safe to catch the train and leave your bags on the beach whilst you are out surfing. However every now and again when a cyclone swell hits and the waves further north are too wild to surf we find ourselves back down at south beach.

The nearby uShaka beach is a perfect place to take your kids to on a weekend to learn to surf. There are a few surf schools along the beach front, just like this one next to the Marine Surf Life Saving Club where you can hire a surfboard for an hour or two and try and see if you can stand up!
