Surf Road Trip Garden Route - Sharks, Hybrid Surfboards and Vic Bay Quad Comp!!

Published 2024-05-10
Take a drive with me as we go down the most beautiful section of the South African East coast to explore a few hidden gems on the coast. I compete in the Vic Bay Quad which is an inter provincial(state) team age group surfing competition with a long history. It is one of the most popular contests due to the mellow vibe, social atmosphere and stunning setting at a very under rated surf break that always has waves...

  • Cheers Trev, your videos are keeping us alive over in the UK until we can come back home.
  • Mahalos for sharing. Ill be 60 in a month so i really enjoyed your insight of the past and the boards evolution trip. Basically similar past as far as equipment and the value of being a surfer. Aloha

    I must have drive the road between PE and Knysna 100’s of times in my life. As an ex South African it was nostalgic to take that drive with you. Lots of familiar places.

    Thanks for another great video, Trevor!!! Loved hearing your story of being one of the lucky ones who grew up being able to ride all the different generations of boards. My dad grew up in the 1930s in the South Bay here in So Calif and had only surfed on those crazy, gigantic long boards. At the time, there was some guy in the area known to have made some decent boards and my dad had a couple of them that he apparently loved dearly. Later in life, he would marvel at what the young guys could do on the short boards. Wish he were alive to be able to see you and your videos. He'd love it!!!

    Started on a mal in 1964 now aged 72 I've gone up in length and volume. Missing too many waves. O60's was good for a while but by 68 years old all these hot "young" Over 55 year olds stated filtering into the O60's. Bugger that so put up my case and got an O65 division added last year to Surfing Australia! Makes a big difference but kudos to SurfingNSW who I approached for listening and following through. 😍
  • Hey `lukka one balie. Good to see the ous using open minded and sensible and riding boards to suit the conditions. Even flat earth 2 plus 1s coming out.
  • Did you know Syder Murphey? Being from California, same age as you. We used to hear he was a great shaper in the day there in SA.

    8:36 - I'll be doing the garden route in August. Do you have any advice for driving it? You said they trap like crazy along there, just want to stay safe. Love your vids Trev!
  • Think about doing a Documentary on JBay from the 1950's through 2024...The must be great 16mm; 8mm; super 8; 35 mm film from locals to create a Documentary. Just a thought.
