posted by Jonathan Maritz on 25th February 2008
Date: 14th to 16th March 2008
Venue: Millers Point
The Bodyboarding Camp will be situated between Simons Town and the Cape Point Nature reserve at a secluded holiday village known as Millers Point. Due to Millers Point being a prime spot in the Southern Peninsular it is the perfect venue which will allow us to explore many surf breaks such as Noordhoek, Kommetjie, Scarborough and Cape Point Nature reserve. There by ultimately fulfilling our goal of searching for the perfect wave.
In order to search for the perfect wave we will have to take a few factors into consideration such as tides, winds and swell directions. The only way in which to decide on the perfect break would be to study the weather conditions, swell maps and knowledge of more experienced riders.
Once we are satisfied that the perfect break has been found we will conclude our day recapping the days experiences, and plan the next day over a well prepared meal.
On the last day a competition will be held for the best move and thanks to
Reef,
Science and
Sport Unlimited there will be lots of prizes and give aways!

- Cricket
- Soccer
- DVD analysis
- Hacki sack

Ya guys, well done. Sounds like you're organising a rad camp. One of my fondest memories when i was in school was going on a surf camp to Gonubie in Eastern Cape with Son Surf, it was so cool. Surfed spots on the coast travelling up and travelling back, scored waves all week and ended with a Son Surf contest.
Next step for you guys is to do your camps off the beaten track somewhere where you can camp in front of the surf and not worry about hurting any feelings when you bring a crowd of 15 spongers in a combi... haha.
Keep up the stoke. |
