In the early 80’s, Dutch Van den Ende brothers were hooked surfers at Mamba Point. This is how Martin described it : “Mamba Point is a left break formed by the curved outline of a rugged, rocky coast. The inside of the point has been reinforced with slabs of concrete and houses had been built all the way up to the edge of the water. The surf is best during the rainy season because of the wind and the direction of the swell. Most of the time we surfed in the rain, but it was never cold. We were not afraid of sharks but had to watch out for fishermen surfing in their canoes with trawling lines. Sometimes they would give us a lift back to the peak. If a wave could -turn you over two times-, it was about 9 feet. It did not get bigger, but when it was on, it was a fantastic hollow wave”.
