Highlights

Hi there, I'm Libby owner of Wavecrest Surf School. I've surfed for 30 years and been teaching surfing for 20 years here in Jbay. We like to keep it real, it is not about making a pro, it's about introducing everyone (young or old) to a way of life, the fun, the love of the ocean the excitement from every wave. Our staff create a warm, friendly atmosphere which is hard to beat. It is professionally run with good vibes at all times. We all Love what we do!! "WHEN IN DOUBT, PADDLE OUT!!"

    It was a great experience! The instructor gave very good instructions what to do and within a hour I was able to stand on the board and at the end of the session I could even ride some waves. A must do when you are at JBay!

    Had an amazing surf lesson with the instructor Dylan! He was excellent, boosting my confidence. The people were friendly, and the overall atmosphere, much like the waves, was fantastic. A truly incredible experience, big thanks to the awesome team. Highly recommended!

    My son (10) did the surfing and he said his instructor was the best and kept encouraging him. He is already asking me when we will be back again.

About Port Elizabeth

Port Elizabeth, also known as Gqeberha, is a sunny city on Algoa Bay in South Africa's Eastern Cape, with long beaches and wildlife parks nearby.

Port Elizabeth lies on Algoa Bay in the Eastern Cape, and since 2021 the city has also been called Gqeberha, a name from the Xhosa language; the surrounding municipality is Nelson Mandela Bay. British settlers landed here in 1820. The Donkin Reserve, a hilltop park with a stone pyramid and a lighthouse, overlooks the centre, and Route 67 is a walk lined with public sculptures. Beaches such as Hobie Beach and King's Beach run along the bay.
