Llands, arguably one of the most beautiful places to surf in SA, recently kicked up a gear as we truck toward the festive season. Crystal-blue water, snow-white sand and majestic boulders all add to its visual charm.
Llandudno is not for the faint-hearted: the wave gets really hollow and big with nasty granite boulders looming near the right-hand wedge. But, then again that’s exactly why we love it!! A couple of the areas biggest frothers braved the coves frigid waters to get shacked, one way.
