1960’s surfers' reunion in Muizenberg, Cape Town.

Surfer’s Corner in Muizenberg has long been known as a hot spot of surfing culture and this weekend will be a memorable one with a reunion of surfers, lifesavers, girls, beachbums, musicians and others from the 1960’s.

Venue: Muizenberg Pavillion
Date: Friday 19 March 2010
Time: Doors open at 6.00pm
Dress: The dress for the reunion will be casual with a hint of Hawaii. Guys can wear floral shirts and leis and ladies can wear leis (flower garlands) and a flower behind one ear. In Hawaii a flower behind the left ear means being taken, or married. A flower behind the right ear means still available.

Programme of Events:

Arrival and Registration followed by Hula Dancing.
Welcome by Paul Botha, with a toast to “the Oom” John Whitmore and other absent friends, followed by a video tribute.
At 8pm a documentary produced by Carlos Feyder will be screened “you should have been here yesterday” – the Surfer’s Corner Story.
Then it’s party time – live music and raffle of some incredible prizes!

The organisers have been overwhelmed by the response. They were expecting a casual gathering of a 100 people or so, but the event has turned into a confirmed guestlist of around 500 people flying in from all over the country and the globe.

The reunion details can be found on the Facebook group “Surfers Corner Sixties Reunion” with a wonderful collection of photos and old stories emerging. We have taken the liberty of pulling a selection of photographs from the contributions on the Facebook group to give you an idea of the life and times of surfing in Muizenberg in the 1960’s! Friendships are being rekindled and the hey day of surfing in Muizenberg is on everyone’s lips.
