In August 2024 we traveled to West Africa with a group of frothing intermediate and advanced surfers. Our goal? To scope Ghana's coastline potential and hopefully score some uncrowded waves in Ghana during prime swell season.

Along with 10 guests came also Matias Campus, our favorite Portuguese freesurfer and The Surf Tribe rider and our friend Laura to document the experience.

What we found was true adventure: from a very solid swell and our local boat almost capsizing in the surf to searching for (and finding) epic waves in the remote jungle in the west of the country.

The biggest reward was not the empty pointbreaks and uncrowded surf sessions (there were many) but the connections made along the way with the wonderful locals and the welcoming and blooming surf communities of Ghana.

We’d like to thank Mr. Brights for the expert guiding and Desmond, Joshua surf school and all the local surf communities for their incredibly warm welcome and support. See you again in 2025.

Next trip: 13 - 23 August 2025. Early bird price until end of February.
