Maties Surf Club

The Maties Surf Team for 2011
Maties Surf Club is a sports club affiliated to the University of Stellenbosch. It is open to anyone wishing to join and has on average around 150 members each year. 

The club has activities for all levels of surfers and has established a reputation for throwing great parties. For the beginners we offer surf lessons at the start of each term with Son Surf Strand and help pick out you first board and wet-suit. For the intermediate surfers the draw of the club is the camaraderie of fellow surfers of similar skill to challenge and help you improve. While for the advanced surfers the club is an active member of Boland Surfing which gives you access to local competitions as well as the University Sport South Africa sanctioned Surf Championships, held in Victoria Bay in June each year.

The Surf Club also hosts two weekend trips on to Stillbay in the first semester and one to Elands in the second.

Over the years we have established strong ties with the Natural Energy surf shop in Strand where the club members enjoy a 15% discount on everything except boards, which when you  buying a three grand wet-suit is a massive help.
