A-Frame peaks, warm water and golden beaches, defiantly Paradise on the east coast. Photo: StJohn LombardEast London seems to be the breeding ground for top talent. St John Lombard offers us an insight into the training grounds.



A beach break with insane sand bars, half an hour out of town.. Photo: StJohn LombardA spot here in East London, very hollow sandbars, and insane shorey too, typical winter day, with a light offshore. A guy got attacked by a great white last year here. Photo: StJohn LombardA-Frame peaks, warm water and golden beaches, defiantly Paradise on the east coast. Photo: StJohn LombardAfter the hustle and bustle of the big city crowds, I am willing to bet most surfers here pray to see a car load of okes pulling in at their spot. Photo: StJohn Lombard
Semi Secret spot where you can pitch your tent and then get shacked. Photo: StJohn LombardJonathan Love, local rider on DK at a pointbreak here in East London. Photo: StJohn LombardJohno again, this time prone, stalling hard for that barrel, this point break is by far the sickest in town. Photo: StJohn LombardNahoon beach break, early morning Pre-Sunrise.

This is a break around the corner from the notorious Nahoon reef. Photo: StJohn LombardBeautiful little gem sucking on the sandbar at one of our semi-secret spots. Photo: StJohn LombardA pointbreak that I have yet to see surfed. Photo: StJohn LombardA semi-secret slab, surfed by a select few East London locals, one of our main mission spots, surfed allot by Greg Emslie and Devyn Metteys. Photo: StJohn Lombard
That Slab/Ledge again, this time on high tide, allot bigger than it looks. Most intense, insane barrels I have had in my life. Photo: StJohn LombardThe un-surfed left hand ledge, very consistent, but the jagged ledge below, and the 1m depth keeps it quiet and crowd free. Photo: StJohn Lombard
