NEED A BOARD?
In the Durban and south coast area (incl. Vulamanzi) we can arrange surfboard hire or we can get a board shaped for you by Hugh Thompson. Hugh has been shaping boards for over 30 years and is well known all over the world. Boards can be ordered 2 weeks before arrival so when you get here here, there is a brand new board waiting for you complete with wax, leash and bag.
