Win a Surfing trip to Mozambique!

Cape Townians or anyone who will be on holiday in Cape Town in December, get down to the rather unique sounding Wavescapes Surf Film Festival – ladies you’re guaranteed to be surrounded by tanned, toned and hunky looking casual guys… You know the KFC ad – fully bru. Enter their competition and win a surfing trip to Mozambique – yumyum – now that sounds like a holiday of note. ww.wavescapes.co.za/”>Wavescapes is about surf culture, but they don’t want you to feel left out. So they have organised a great competition where you too can learn the Zen-like skill of surfing. When you get a ticket to the Wavescapes Surf Film Festival, presented by FNB, you could win a learn-to-surf trip for two – with your own guide – to Mozambique. The grand prize includes all flights, and six night’s accommodation at the Turtle Cove Surf and Yoga Lounge in Tofu, Mozambique. What’s more, surf lessons will be provided daily by a trained instructor from Surfing Safari, a surf travel company. If you surf already, no worries, the instructor becomes your guide to some of the outstanding surf breaks of the region.
