There are surfers and then there are surfers. I love the latter - the traditional carefree, slightly off-the-wall and slightly odd surfer. I'm not one of this breed, but if you are, you rock! The beach - nay, the world - wouldn't be the same without you.
Long Beach in Kommetjie is a little far from the city, but worth the drive if you're into surfing, bodyboarding, or bodysurfing. Speaking about bodyboarders - a surfer-friend of mine casually told me a little while ago that surfers refer to bodyboarders as speedbumps - heh - so if you're in the water on your bodyboard, just stay way clear of the surfers.
