Durban Surf - Rugby Tours To Durban, Irish Rugby Tours

Durban Surf

Situated on the east coast of Africa it has some of the best waves in the country.   Durban is not always the first choice for surfing in South Africa and not exactly sure why.

Besides being a fantastic location to go to it also has some of the optimum conditions for the perfect wave.

One thing that is important is that it’s really safe for surfers because it is heavily netted.

This makes it safer for surfers than the Western Cape’s beaches.

The east coast is perfect for both pro and learner surfers.

Piers towards the south create point break waves which are perfect for learners.

Sand banks in North Beach’s Golden Mile make for more gentle waves that are great for beginners.

Beaches have become hot spots for those learning to surf at surfing schools because of the piers and sand banks.

Sharks Training Session

Attend an intensive rugby training session with coaches from the Sharks  to improve your game and skills.

The sessions here in Durban are very good and a lot of teams comment on how good they are.

Of course it’s all down to the coach giving the session and the Sharks staff that do them are very good indeed.

Teams take on a lot what is taught to them and this is shown in their results when they get home.

It’s all down to our training sessions and the coaches we provide.
