Learn (where) to surf op die Weskus 2024!
Extreme Abilities is bringing more people from the West Coast closer to the Ocean through surfing. In 2023 we successfully established an adaptive surf club for disabled people that want to surf and in February 2024 we officially established the West Coast Surf club, a platform for primary and high school students and their parents. To pilot this endeavor we have surf sessions throughout 2024 over weekends as well, focusing on Paternoster eerste mosselbank beach as our 'grassroots' venue. Public holidays through out 2024 Extreme Abilities will offer surf lessons to the public, establishing a platform for beginner surfers with the aim to grow our West Coast surf club. Follow link for video high lights of each session. If you reside within the Saldanha Bay Municipal area and would like to join a surf club, sign up HERE.
We offer private 'learn to surf' sessions at a cost and we offer Public sessions on set dates free of charge.

Weskus Regional Adaptive Surfing Championship, 23 November 2024
The 2024 Weskus Adaptive Surfing regional Championships is the annual competition that serves as the team trials for Die Weskus Krewe.
As part of our commitment to the growth and thriving of a grass roots development platform for surfing on the West Coast we held two divisions; division A was made up of our advanced surfers that have their own personal boards, wetsuits and surf gear, this division surfs it out for the Top Kreef title as the West Coast Champion. Congratulations Mary-Ann De Bruin for defending her 2023 title successfully in 2024.
Division B was the main focus of the event and was an opportunity for those who do not have the means to purchase gear, to have an opportunity to win the best gear a surfer can buy. Congratulations to Frikkie De Klerk that always went back to the line up no matter what. He won his first very own top tier wetsuit, with a surf bag full of surf gear and a body board with a board bag.
