Surfing South Africa

I always loved photography and about 5 years ago discovered the enthralling and captivating sport of surf! One might wonder how it's possible that someone who has lived in a surf capital for 40 years has only recently "discovered" the joy of surf photography?

Even though I grew up about 15min drive from our closest beach, my family was not 'from the ocean'. So one day while walking the dogs on one of my favourite spots, I came across some surfers in the break and sat down to watch them a while, only to realise the while was a good 2 hours. The next weekend I brought my camera along and snapped a few hundred shots... and I can now firmly declare that that was when the bug bit!

I am most happy to drive long distances to capture some good shots! Every year I travel to Jeffries Bay to watch the WSL competition. Its an experience to be afforded the opportunity of watching the best surfers in the world compete!

Cape Town also has one Big Wave spot called Dungeons, which can be viewed from Chapman's Peak, or if you are lucky enough, to book a spot on a boat to watch the action from close up.

And then Cape Town is renown for our pumping winds from December through to March and so many kite surfers from around the world reside here during that time. In February we host the Red Bull King of Air.

I also chase sunsets... and what better a find to capture a sunset WITH surfers in action!
