Check out the clips above and see how the Tokoro performs under one of Africa’s top surfers. Fast, responsive, and built for surfers looking to push their surfing to the next level.

Welcome to the Cape Town Surfing Board Review Series 🌊🏄‍♂️

This is where we showcase the surfers we coach, the boards they ride, the models and dimensions they use, and real video clips of how these boards perform in the waves.

The goal is to help other surfers who aren’t always sure what board to ride. By watching different surfers, seeing their height, weight, surfing style, wave conditions, and the board models they’re using, you can get a much better idea of what setup could work for you.

This review features riding the Hooligan Model🔥

Every surfer is different, every wave is different, and every board reacts differently — so we’re here to help guide you toward the right choice.

If you’re keen to order a custom board, we also offer FREE surf coaching analysis and a coaching session with every custom board order through Cape Town Surfing.

This helps us dial in the right dimensions, rail setup, rocker, volume distribution, and overall board design to suit your surfing style — whether you’re more front-foot dominant, predominantly back-footed, heel-heavy, explosive and progressive, or looking for a smoother, more stylish and natural approach to surfing.

All coaching and board analysis is done through Cape Town Surfing by Cape Town Surfing director and surf coach Liam Wood.

The future of South African surfing is looking seriously bright 🇿🇦🌊


Featured here are 4 very special little groms — with another 3 or 4 coming through too.

All are n the U12 division, and even a few still under 10 years old.

What’s most exciting isn’t just their surfing ability, but their confidence, maturity, and pure love for the lifestyle of surfing.

Over the last few weeks during our Cape Town Surfriders / Western Province regional trials, these kids have honestly been surfing beyond their years. Their energy, commitment, coachability, and stoke for the ocean is something really special to witness.

As coaches, it’s such a privilege to work with these young surfers and help guide them on their journey — not only competitively, but as individuals growing through surfing.

Big things ahead for this next generation 🌊🔥
