Camp Dates



Cape Town 27th July- 2nd August,

This is my bi-monthly trip to Cape Town; this year has picked up momentum with the Cape Town visits which has allowed me to work with the kids on a much more regular basis. This is great for them to have regular training and feedback on their improvement each time. There is a really young hot contingent coming out of Cape Town which is great to see.

I am now also introducing an added service to my Cape Town trips, all video footage will be captured and edited, with the footage I will produce a short DVD and coaching C.D which will be posted to each student.

Mossel Bay Camp 8th-9th August:

This camp will be more “Boot Camp” style with all the bells and whistles, this is where I will give the kids a taste of what kind of commitment, dedication, and focus a professional surfer needs to put in to reap the rewards. Each student will leave the camp with a mini portfolio including photos and a short DVD which can be presented to your sponsor .This will also demonstrate how a person can present himself to a company when looking for sponsorship as well as getting used to being interviewed. We will be utilizing the wide variety of waves in the area including Diaz beach for training and heat drills and the Point for technical surfing. This camp will include accommodation, meals and coaching. The camp will be run in a very similar way as to the National team camp SSA held here, in preparation for the World Games in March.


Still Bay/Jongensfontein 29th-30th August

This is my “family” camp, last year was such a great success I thought I would make it an annual event. This camp will have more of a family vibe to it where the parents, brothers and sisters are all welcome. The idea is spending quality time with each other whilst getting your kids profesional coaching in an area with great waves and breathe taking nature. We’ll surf till we drop and then at night retire to our homes or get together for a lekker braai. I want to incorporate fun into the camp and have the main focus on surfing and surfing good waves. Each family gets their own beautiful thatch house in the Bosbokduin Nature reserve, check out

Victoria Bay 5th-6th September:

This camp will be more like a rough it “camp”, we will be bringing the tents and sleeping bags and camping at Vic Bay camp site. This training weekend will be in preparation for the Billabong Vic Bay junior event, this will be the “fun” camp where all the friends come along we surf all day, under super vision, enjoy ourselves and familiarize ourselves with the wave.
