March 1st – Surfing at Muizenberg Beach!


Eeek, can’t believe it is March already! Went with my housemates to brunch down the road in Rondebosch at a nice cafe called Cocoa Wah Wah. I had an eggs benedict in a croissant, which was amazing!

Then in the afternoon, a group of us went to Muizenberg beach and two of the guys and I went surfing! It was so easy to rent a board and a wetsuit, and only 90 Rand (less than 9 dollars) for an hour and a half!
 


The waves were quite hectic though, just one right after the other so it was really hard to paddle out because you would get a few strokes in and then be hit by another wave. But it was super fun!

I was able to stand up quite a few times! There were also some cute blue jellyfish, but one stung my friend's finger. The shark alert was for “visibility unclear” conditions that day, but there had been a shark spotted two days ago. Sharks are very common at all the beaches in South Africa. You just need to watch for the warning flags.
