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?

Cassiem Collier, surfing J-Bay, 2019-09
Travel Bugz recently sponsored a trip to J-Bay with South African surfing icon, Cassiem Collier. Spurred on by fellow surfing icon, Derek Hynd, the mission was to capture a 90 minute session at Super Tubes as part of an entry into an underground surf tour that celebrates the art form of surfing, as opposed to the mainstream, performance-based model.
Needing a decent swell, Cass watched the charts and then hit the road just as the cold front was pushing up the coast from Cape Town, literally riding the storm up to J-Bay. The Caddy TDI handled the rough weather with ease, not to mention offering Cass a comfortable night's sleep so he could wake up at dawn to perfect Super Tubes barreling down the point.
After shredding a bunch of waves and capturing great footage, Cass now needed to surf a retro shape. Local legend Bruce Gold stepped up and lent him his very own retro fish, shaped by David Nuuhiwa, based on a Joel Tudor shape - talk about a convergence of legends!! This was a magical moment in South African surfing history! Cass paddled out on the soaring eagle for a session he described as magical.
As the light faded, Cass hit the road again for the long haul back to Cape Town, basking in the golden memories of all the tubes and feathering lips he'd danced with that day.
Cape st Francis (4 of 5 Capes)
Cape number 4 out of 5! what a day! Super intense start to the paddle with some rather large waves crashing close to the rocks, but with Jasper and Dawids experience they managed to get the guys out one by one to start their 4th Cape of the trip!
