  Overview
  Atmosphere This spot is very popular with longboarders, you will find the same crowd of guys there every morning, can be surfed on average 5 days a week,
a good frendly buzz
  General North Beach is zoned a swimming beach, so to surf there one must be there before the bathing is opened in the morning, or after bathing is closed in the evening, an incredibly good right hander when its working, barreling across the sand banks, North Beach has for many years been the home of the Gunston 500 and the more recent Mr Price

Norths Cooks
howzit bru.. if your checking this then u probably know what a lekker wave North Beach is. I stayed in Durbs for a couple of years 1999- 2002 and scored sooooo many good days here. I also surfed with the now famous Jordy Smith and locals Wok, Nichols, PAin etc. They all rip the bag sooo hard, SA spots and surfing is fully underated. GO get em lads

Durbs Rocks Fully
I grew up in Durban having moved there from the UK at the age of 9yrs way back in 1975.Shaun Tomson and his late father shaped my first board, a 5'6 single fin stinger just as twins were coming on to the scene.I regularly watched the Gunston 500 at the Bay of Plenty with greats like Dane Kealoha, Gerry Lopez, Simon Anderson, Mark Richards Shane Horan. I now live in Spain and still surfing.I miss Durbs having lived there for twenty years.I served with the Durban Dog Unit at CR Swart Square and have promised myself I will return home someday.Surfing is an expression of ones soul and something to share with everyone.Indifference in the Republic has claimed too many lives already.Localism is indifference.Respect the rules in the water and enjoy it one and all.Respect.

saffa bodyboarder stuck in canada
I'm a proudly South African bodyboarder, born and bread in durbs (Glenwood boy), now I'm in Vancouver,Canada. Can't wait to get home, there's too many of us south africans in the UK, OZ and Canada. Look what we're missing out on!
