Guiness World Surfing record attempt

The Guiness world record attempt for ‘most surfers riding the same wave’ that will be staged at the Earthwave Beach Festival in Muizenberg on the weekend 25 & 26 September.

The record currently stands at 110 surfers riding a wave for 5 seconds or more, and this year organisors are expecting 500 participants, who can include anyone who can stand up and ride a wave for five seconds+

The Perfect North sea Storm

OK, well not quite the perfect storm but getting close as far as North sea surfers are concerned. This low pressure blowing winds straight down the North Sea will generate waves from way North near Norway producing a solid swell with decent wave period of 11 to 12 secs. So If we're not in the office later this week you know why! :)
