In South Africa, as in some other parts of the world, there is a strong connection between
big wave surfing and spirituality. Dungeons, near Hout Bay, is one of the top big wave surfing
spots in the world. People refer to the connection between surfing and spirituality as a
release, a meditation, and a oneness with nature. Soul surfer Keith Glendon describes this
connection as follows: “The sea holds a magic for those of us who know her. A magic so
simple, pure and powerful it works as an unseen force in our souls. We’re drawn to her.
The spirit of the sea moves in us as we move within her, undulating folds in pursuit of our
peace. As surfers, we inherently know this to be so. The sea brings comfort, solace, release
and escape. The sea brings healing. The spirit of the sea, for some of us, is the very essence
of life.
