Life Goal: Surf J-Bay

Watching Jeffrey’s Bay is soothing, almost hypnotic. Yes, the water’s cold. Yes, there are sharks. Yes, Derek Hynd may fly from the top of the point on an 11-foot finless board leaving you scrapping to the shoulder, fearing for your life. But, still, Jeffrey’s Bay is a bucket list location for anyone with a penchant for surf, travel, and barrels. Yago might not have experienced J-Bay at its finest during his eight-day jaunt. But it’s still 90 percent more attractive than what is currently happening at your locale, despite those imperfections. So, dig waves that’ll leave you side ached and breathless? Look no further.
