The nearest but not necessarily the best option is Strand. Strand is a rather average (at best) beach-break set-up, conveniently only 22 kilometres from Stellenbosch. It works best in wind-still conditions, but it you’re not too fussy it can still be fun in anything from light to moderate winds. The prevailing summer South Easter is onshore to cross onshore and the winter North Wester is more cross-shore than off. The main break at Strand is located on the Western edge of the beach-front and is known as Pipe. Its name is taken from a rather unfortunate waste water pipeline rather than the form of the wave itself. At its best Strand Pipe can be punchy and fun with lefts and rights running across the sand-bars. The Pipe works best when the swell is in the three meter range, but when the swell crests four to four and a half meters the outside banks begin to play havoc with the lines, reducing the spot to a mushy mess.

I tried to fdo the paddleski thing many years ago - spent lots of time waiting for waves, but eventually waived that too

Love the shot at exactly 0.16, those hills/cliffs rising out of the mist.

They do that quite often, practice makes perfect, even for cliffs -

Nicely done.    As a old surfer would say - I can't get amped up too much over those ankle slappers.

I hear you loud and clear.  You have to ride what they give you.  

Nice footage, although the waves weren't the best. But as said before, good circumstanced for those who want to practice. Also, great chice for the background music - certainly catches the "surfer vibe" feel to it. :-)
