Clifton 4th beach-like something out of a crazy dream
This is the first part of my series of articles on the Red Bull Big Wave Africa surfing event. The event takes place in the Hout Bay area, and here we start off by getting to know the route to Hout Bay.
I usually access Hout Bay either from Constantia Nek, or if I want to take a scenic route, I go through Sea Point, past Clifton, past Llandudno and then over Suikerbossie (The hill ridden in the world famous Cape Argus/ Pick ‘n Pay Cycle Tour) and into Hout Bay.
I decided that in order to find Hout Bay today, I would take the scenic route to show you a bit of what Cape Town has to offer, seeing as though this is what the site is all about. I ended off by visiting my wingman, Charlie, at his flat(Apartment if you are overseas) with a great view over the city centre.
It’s a short photo essay designed to show you that wherever you go in this city, a beautiful view is not far away. And neither is the ocean.
I must stress that these photos have been taken now, in winter, and you can only imagine what this city is like in summer then.
Like something out of a movie.
In the next piece on this event, we go in search of the mysterious Dungeons surf spot, in “Finding Dungeons”
Ending the day with a view over the entire city centre is really awesome
