Africa - the last day - EARTHWAVE

So my last day in South Africa was sort of a treat to be honest.  Every year in Muizenberg where I was staying (a small surf city infamous for the famous beachfront huts); a small city just outside of Cape Town, South Africa competes in a competition to hold the World Guinness Record for having the most surfers UP on one wave at the same time.  They held the record in 2009 for having 110 people up on the wave.  This year was close, but they did not quite beat their own victory from last year.  This year landed them 93 people on one wave.  Still a big achievement if you ask me! It was pretty overcast and ended up raining, but that did not stop these people for showing up to show their support to keep the title. ~es

This is the beachfront in Muizenberg.  These shots were not taken on my last day, but I just wanted to show you the landmark.  It was a much sunnier day this day. LOL.

Front view of the huts.  They are empty.  I think people can change in them.  They are not really utilized.  

There were so many surfers out there!! It was crazy! An awesome experience.  

 

You can not see very well, but ALL of the tiny black dots out on the wave are actual people!
