Mossel Bay is a sleepy surf-mecca, new to the sport of downhill. Waves Surf Shop, the local surfstore/skatepark, organised the race.

The 18th and 19th of June 2011 will see Africa’s fastest longboarders and lugers gather in Pretoria and battle for the title of King Of The Fort.
After a very successful event was held in September 2010 First Nature has decided to run the King of the Fort again in 2011!
This weekend saw the High Rising Downhill Xtreme in Grabouw in the Western Cape. First Nature reports that there were 26 competitors in the open stand-up category, 7 in junior stand-up, 5 in street luge and 2 in Classic luge.
Nestled between pine forests, fynbos and Martian like landscape, the Houwteq complex is situated 4km off the N2 just out side Grabouw.
The Stellenbosch longboard crew are trying to find people that would be interested in attending a premiere of “Drop: My life downhill”.
Longboarding is in plain simple terms just a derivative of skateboarding. Or is it? Well I’m sure the purists will attack me for saying this but I need a starting point for this article right?
