  • If you could travel back in time and see surfing in its infant state, what do you think you would see? Ever wonder what surfing was like in the golden ages back before contests and money, just for the pure stoke of surfing? In this episode of Weird Waves Dylan Graves and Dane Gudauskas intend to find out what tomorrow’s yesterday looks like when they land at the very exciting new surf community in Lagos, Nigeria.

    I learnt to bodyboard here in the early 90s! There wasn’t really much surfing then but I do remember two Italians turning up who were really good and got a good crowd. Tarkwa doesn’t look much different, but the water looks less polluted and the city buildings in the background look much bigger. Nigeria has its problems but the locals just accept it and carry on. Great to see a good surf culture developing! Is the yacht club rotunda still there? So good to see this and great little doco mate!

    reminded me of how sebastian inlet used to break back in the day. Sebastian only wishes it was this good now. Ask Jeff Crawford to watch this episode to see how the kids push each other positively and... share... not really how the wedge at the inlet was run back in the day haha. Great to see some culture and hear some traditional music. Cheers to all that made this happen. Really stoked to see this. Looked fun as heck.

Yet I’m just so intrigued with the personalities and locations that I keep watching. And have slowly fall in love with the sport along the way. I give it a “Very Cool/10”
