<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/div><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/div><\/div>\nWe also made the most of the good weather we’ve been having. \u00a0Despite it being winter here, I’ve had colder stays in Jeffreys Bay during our summer trips! We used the weather to our advantage and visited a river on a surrounding area farm. \u00a0There, we had a chance\u00a0to swim, do a few rock jumps and zip-line across the river.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/div><\/a><\/a><\/div><\/div>\nYet of course, surfing is the main focus of our South African Road Trip. \u00a0Being in Jeffrey’s Bay means being immersed in South African surf culture- everywhere you go seems to be ‘Surf themed’. We visited a man who’s played a huge roll in the development of the Surf culture in Jeffrey’s Bay through shaping; Mikey Meyer. While\u00a0not as old as he pretends to be, his stories and wisdom account for many years in Jeffreys Bay. We enjoyed his stories\u00a0and his wicked sense of humour as he gave us the low down on hand-shaping surfboards.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/div><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/div><\/div>\nAs if it weren’t a busy enough week, one morning we also decided to do our own little beach clean up where we were staying. \u00a0It was amazing to see how much rubbish makes it’s way to our beaches. We then got involved with a recycling project in a nearby township to support the initiative and do our bit to contribute to a cleaner environment.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/div><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/div><\/div>\nJeffrey’s Bay is a regular favourite stop on the South African Road Trip, but this particular week\u00a0was one of my all-time favourites. We had the waves, \u00a0the weather, and a few wild nights in the Island Vibe bar. \u00a0But most importantly we had the great vibes that come with community! Did I mention we got the waves??<\/p>\n
Oh, and before I forget, Gwil the talented and charismatic (also significantly older, happy birthday bro!) Welshman got all these great shots!<\/p>\n
