Exploring and Surfing Firing Cape St Francis and Jeffreys Bay
The Eastern Cape's Sunshine Coast was anything but that when Bevan and I arrived a few days before Easter - just in time for the arrival of a nationwide cold front that left snow on the Drakensberg and gale force winds and huge swell pounding the coastline. Luckily, this wasn't our first visit to the area around Jeffreys Bay and Cape St Francis and we knew that what would be waiting for us when the front passed would make sitting it out for a few days worthwhile.
Arriving in town at the same time as the cold front didn't worry us too much - there's nothing like enjoying some cozy indoors time while Nature wreaks havoc outside. What is more, a big cold front pushing lots of swell could mean only one thing for the little town of Jeffreys Bay - an influx of surfers and perfect, running waves at the best right-hand point break in the world. What is a bit of rain when you know that this is in store?

Some fun surf at Seal Point...
I've waited 8 years for this day.
Surf grom.
I am a surfer. The old school surfer type, before it became mainstream. When the main breaks had 6 to 8 guys in the water. Nowadays its big business, fashionable, trendy and crowded. The same main break having 30 to 40 plus guys in the lineup.
In my 30 years in the water, I can still remember my first wave, the rush of the water below my feet the first blue wall, that first barrel, surfing Super Tubes at 8foot plus and launching off the back of that monster through fear of dying. Traveling to remote surf destination in Madagaskar and the turquoise waters of the Maldives. Have been chased out of the water by agro locals in Vicbay.
It has not been a sport it has been a lifestyle for me.
I waited 8 years for this day. I'm a dad of two Jordan (8) and Alex (6). From the time they could walk I would bite my tongue trying not to persuade them into the water. It had to come from them.
Sunday the 5th of Januar 2020 I received a call the surf was on. Decided to go have a quick look before I suited up, Jordan asked if he could ride along. We hopped on the scooter and set off to the beach. Seal Point was perfect. Warm water, 3 to 4 foot clean and glassy conditions. Jordan was playing at the water's edge looking for beach diamonds. Beach diamonds are pieces of glass that have been rubbed smooth over time with the continuous rolling and tumbling on beach sand. Our game and attempt at picking up beach litter. The kids love it, we now have many jars filled with beach diamonds.
Jordan came running up off the rocks and said, Hey dad are we going surfing? Pause... be cool breath slowly, stay calm, did I hear correctly. Sure my boy, but I think we should hit the beach where there are no rocks
Raced home suited up. Threw my fish on the couch, gave Jordi a few pointers. Aways put your feet on the stringer (the middle piece of wood on the board) get your feet nice and wide like this. Don't lean forward or back, stay in the middle of the board. I told the girls to join us and raced back to the beach with my boy.
We took it slow. Only going in a little deeper every time, he was so brave. Seasoned surfers take wave knowledge for granted. We forget how we can read the ocean, how the water moves on the surface will tell us what's happening below, what to do when we are tumbled in the white water, how to deal with serges and rip tides.
I got him waist-deep and pushed him onto a rolling foamy. And there he goes stood up the first time.
And so it went for a better part of an hour. Me pushing Jords onto the wave and body surfing to fetch the board and drag him back to the push-in spot.
Vicki and Alex came down and I offer to push Alex into a wave. She was ready until she saw the wax and wanted to know this white stuff was. I explained that it's the sticky stuff that keeps you from slipping off your board. She took one look and ran off into the surf, shouting.
Next time dad
