The swell jumped up from yesterday and this morning it quickly became evident that Restaurants would be the best venue for today's competition. The waves were pumping all day right in front of Tavarua where the world tour surfers were taking their craft to another level with long barrels, critical turns and fierce competitive strategy at one of surfing's most exciting playing fields.

What's up

A father-son surfing journey along Africa's West Coast Set along the rugged West Coast of South Africa, Rough Diamonds tells the story of Pete and Eli Beukes, a father-son duo whose surfing journey began here more than 30 years ago. After finishing the navy and heading to Lamberts Bay to work as a diamond diver in the early 1990s, Pete discovered a volatile coastline brimming with waves. Years later, he shares these treasures with his son Eli. But nothing comes easy along this challenging stretch of waves and wilderness.
