Al, our stories sound very similar ! screw them — everyone was at that level at some point ,,, i go there weekly and will keep going – life’s too short to miss out on fun and get vibed by selfish boneheads,,, funny how so many people have come through in this blog/comment feeling the same way – almost as if they are the majority ,,, i venture left as well every now and again (mostly early mornings) but ill FLAT OUT ignore anyone of the so called locals (im local i live in lunds) if they ever told me i wasst suppose to be there – fuck that haters everyone needs the deep end to learn ..

I lived in your amazing city for 4 months last year and as a very rooky surfer wanted to take the opportunity to surf as much as possible as I live in London – not great for surfing! I regularly surfed Muzies and Llandudno.

I despise this chat about as a ‘kook’ surfer you should have to stay on beginner beaches – sometimes you need to push yourself to improve and when there was a particularly meagre wave at muzies I would resort to trying to catch something at llandudno and it definitely helped my surfing. Although I sometimes did venture into the ‘experienced/locals’ only take off zone I always pulled out of any other wave and almost never got in anyones way. I therefore do not see any problem with less experienced surfers surfing there and certainly do not think it is dangerous if they are sensible. I also received a fair bit of unfriendly chat although only one particularly bad incident where someone tried to tell me and another dude that we were getting in his way.

Interesting to read this blog because I have great memories of cape town but by far and away the worst are those of some of the local surfers who treat the ocean as theirs and theirs only. I am a very experienced skiier and when I go skiing I do not treat beginners like shit and give them grief if they wipe out because I am respectful and more than happy for others to take up a great sport. I am going surfing in Morocco next week and I hear the locals are very friendly! Having said this I made 2 great mates surfing in CT – they are form Zim and shared very similar views about locals.

Great blog

Update: I heard recently that Wayne had his ribs ridden over by an equally unfriendly local surfer, and will be out of action for a while.

I’ve surfed all over the world and have lived in Cape Town for a few years now…. I respect the “locals” however how the hell can you tell who’s who… but never the less the whole point of surfing is the sea, nature, chilled vibe – so this talk of locals intimidating others is pathetic! If any locals at any spot has a crap attitude for no specific reason I’m definately not gonna move out the way – I’ll smack him on the pit right there and then! Mouillie Point passport @ Bosniac WTF dude! I’ll shove your board up your ass and surf you into the Radisson if you tune me the odds… It’s not your ocean wanker!
