Waves S'COOL' of SURF (Mossel Bay, South Africa) ★★★

Mossel Bay’s “Point” is unique; it has two waves breaking next to each other, Inner Pool and Outer Pool. The prevailing wind is an offshore south westerly which brings the swell from Cape Town and the roaring forties.

Outer Pool works on a low tide. It has an easy take off with a slow tapering shoulder that stands up at the bottom section, creating a big turn section which, if you’re fortunate, can push up into a barrel.
Inner Pool is a high tide wave and is more for a hotdogging. The infamous “Peanut Butter” rock lurks halfway down the line- catching visitor and unsuspecting local alike!
Inside the bay there are two reefs that work on different tides, swell directions and sizes.
In addition to the point and reef breaks, we have a friendly learn-to-surf beach at the back of the bay called Diaz – although Bartolomeu was probably more attracted by the safe anchorage and the fresh water spring!

Waves surf school also wants to share the beauty of the Garden Route with all it's amazing attractions and activities. Along side surfing, Mossel Bay and the surounding area is ideal for a relaxing, fun filled, adventure, surfing experience.

"IF YOU DREAM YOU CAN ACHIEVE"

After achieving top 14 ASP Africa series status in 2000 Llewellyn Whittaker followed his dream to become a professional surfer. Based in the U.K he competed on the WQS for 5 years consistently making the top 100. Near the end of his international career his focus turned to the British tour where he finished 3rd in 2006 and 2nd in 2007 and was also crowned U.K Triple Crown champion 2007. During this time he took part in the British surfing Associations coaching scheme where he qualified as a level 3 coach. He was extensively involved in the development of the British junior team in 2006 and 2007.

This was a calling to Llewellyn at which point he decided to move back to sunny, wave rich South Africa. Since been back in South Africa he has been selected to compete in National team trials and was first reserve for the team in 2008 & 2009, he also finished 3rd at the South African surfing Championships 2008 and was surfer of the event.
