Durban, or Surf City, as it is often called, is the centre of the surf industry in South Africa. Pioneered by old surfing legends such as Tony Heard, Leith and Derek Jardine, Shorty Bronkhorst, Ant Van Der Heuwel and Baron Stander, Durban was the place to be in the late 40s and early 50s, when the rest of South Africa was fast asleep, when it came to surfing anyway.
Durban probably has the highest proportion of surfers in the country, and therefore the highest number of shapers, surf shops, clothing and equipment factories. The main surfing beaches of the city are also insanely crowded when there are waves. Durban is the third biggest city in the country, and is in the middle of a lush sub-tropical zone.
It as a vibrant nightlife and there is plenty to see and do during the day, when you are not surfing.

Sorry guys, but we do not provide any sponsorship. Maybe you can send me some quality photos of you surfing, and I post them here.
I lived and worked in Durban from 82 to 85 and during that time I was friendly with a local guy who was surfing mad, we also worked together at the oil refinery on the bluff for a company called Rotork.
If you live in Durban he started working in a surf shop early 85 as he couldn’t keep away from the water. Unfortunately I cannot remember his name but he should have a large scar on his shoulder from a wipe out one day when absent from work, he claimed to the company he did it when he fell off his bike on the plant. Hope you can help.
