    2oceansVibe has had a long-standing connection with “The Kom” – which is probably the reason why we feel safe when walking around the area, wearing clothes and behaving in a way that is foreign to its local inhabitants. We’ve also got life-long honorary membership and protection from the KSI (Kom Skom International), which doesn’t hurt.

    So anyway, check it out – this is the epic poster for the Surf Contest my buddies are organising – in conjunction with the world famous Kommetjie Surf Shop. The contest is not about performance surfing or ability. It is all about fun with prizes for the best dressed (while riding a wave), most original craft ridden and most entertaining wave rider. What’s more, it’s open to everyone. Bring you families and your dogs (they can enter too).

    There is a custom made surfboard and a wetsuit up for grabs and loads of other great goodies to give away

    There is a festival on the day in Kommetjie. For more info take a look at the website www.kommetjie.org

    Some other events on the day include a fun run/crayfish derby/braai/potjie contest, Miss Kommetjie competition (that’ll be good) / paintball/craft market and loads of bands playing at all the restaurants.

    It’s on the 19th of November from 10h00 to 13h00.

    Pull in!!!
