The Wild Coast of South Africa is exactly that, Wild. So heading into the depths of the Transkei we didn’t know what to expect in terms of surfing Coffee Bay. On this occasion we got some of the most fun and consistent waves Ticket to Ride have ever had there. The beauty of the region combined with non stop surf made our stay an unforgettable one. Here are some of my favourite shots from our 11 days there.
