It\u2019s not always easy, but two things that get me stoked are watching good surfing and watching self-improvement! @max_elkington and @jordy_maree were pushing themselves, their bodies and their surfing to be better every wave. This back to back clip was by no means their best waves, just a fun clip. This was after 6 hours of surfing already on the day! #weekendwarrior #surfcoach #weskusisdiebestekus #roadtrip<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\" color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px; margin-bottom:0; margin-top:8px; overflow:hidden; padding:8px 0 7px; text-align:center; text-overflow:ellipsis; white-space:nowrap;\">A post shared by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/seabond\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" style=\" color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px;\" target=\"_blank\"> Chris Bond<\/a> (@seabond) on <time style=\" font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px;\" datetime=\"2020-03-11T04:36:47+00:00\">Mar 10, 2020 at 9:36pm PDT<\/time><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p><!-- Responsive Video Embeds plugin by www.kevinleary.net --><\/p>\n<p>Having almost just finished a &#8216;season&#8217; of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tickettoridegroup.com\/surf-resorts\/South-Africa\">surf trips in South Africa<\/a>, including two <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tickettoridegroup.com\/surf-courses\/South-Africa\/surf\/South-Africa-and-Mozambique-Surf-Adventure?self-catered=true\">13-week trips from Cape Town to Mozambique<\/a>, one starting in January and the other in September, the question of what are the waves like in summer in South Africa comes to mind. The better surfers who come on our trips always wonder about the timing, and all I can say is don&#8217;t worry, we get plenty of swell year-round in South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>You probably won&#8217;t get 6-8 foot Supertubes in Jeffreys Bay, but you may well get it 3-4 ft and less crowded than winter would be. Without jabbering on any longer, here are a few clips from trip leaders and customers from the past two trips. The first two are from our trip leaders after the waves they scored in Mozam in November last year with bits of footage they got from the trip.<\/p>\n<div class=\"rve\" data-content-width=\"750\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B6QukwDHLd8\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"12\" style=\" background:#FFF;

South Africa was nothing short of absolutely incredible and I\u2019ve made memories I\u2019ll treasure. The combination of organisation by TTR plus bringing together people from all over the world is a pretty winning combination.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And Sam<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I really enjoyed the trip and the people I spent time with. All the locations were awesome and you can tell it&#8217;s planned by people who really know the country. The coaches were class and all had individual styles of teaching which worked. I feel like I improved way more than I would have if I spent that time surfing by myself.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What we offer in South Africa and Mozambique is special.<\/p>\n<p>You only have to ask one of the many hundreds of people that have been on a trip and continue to talk about it to this day.
