Jongensfontein Surf Photo: 'Not worth it' by The Wannabe Timotei Man

Nevermind the abundant shark activity, poisonous urchins, blue bottle jellyfish and a general lack of waves....watch out for the crew of strikingly good-looking white Afrikaans locals (the muscular ones with long silky smooth blonde hair and excellent tone) who shall insult your surfing style without thinking twice. You will miss your mamma whilst crying alone in the parking lot (where the gnats will eat you alive!). You have been warned!
